I bought a pot of UG to use in my DOOA Wall scape but decided it wasn’t right there. I still think it’s an awesome little plant, especially if it can be induced to flower.
I wanted to do something to go on the window sill where my propagator was (now ransacked to do other scape).
I found an old vase and some florists Oasis and started to carve. It’s quite challenging to create any sense of depth in such a small, round space. I ended up with a concave tower + another piece to make a dark gully.
I then went to work with the moss and cotton. I chucked the whole lot in a bowel of water to soak the Oasis and wash off loose moss.
I poured in some of the substrate from my propagator (tropica I think?), this should be biologically mature. I planted this with the UG. I topped it up with rain water.
Hopefully as the UG gets going it will emerge from the water and start climbing the tower. I hope the Oasis stays moist enough to support the plants. I will keep it under a glass cloche until it’s very well established.
Thanks for looking. T
