Coconut Shell And Moss?

[Dan-CR4]

i have made a coconut cave and want to put moss on it,

1. will moss grow on a coconut shell?
2. what the best moss to use (are there different ones)?
3. whats the best way to attach the moss to the outside of the coconut?

thanks

What i did was drill like holes into the coconut shells so that i can weave in cotton thread, or fishing line. i've been told that the flossing thingy used for your teeth is also a excellent way to tie java moss down. But i wouldn't recommand it

after you drill a good amount of tiny holes, just tie the java moss down by tieing it down!


heres a good example of a coconut.

There are a few mosses listed at the bottom of this page:

Here's another method. (scroll down to 'a moss lawn')
