This Old Spouse

I should probably have put this in the planted section but thought I might get some more responses here?
Anyway, got some wonderful moss from Liz and now I'm trying to figure out how best to get it going. I started it out on a large piece of driftwood with some fishing line, but it started to come loose and half of it ended up on my filter intake.
So I thought a really brilliant idea would be to get a hair net, which I thought would hold it down, be invisible, and let the new growth through easily. All that was true, but right before turning off the lights for the night I looked in and there was a poor little trili all tangled up in the net, just like a fishing net. I got him out and he seems all right, but sheesh.
So for now the moss is kind of wadded up in a ball and stuffed in another piece of driftwood in another tank until I can get some good advice on how to work it. How long does it take before it takes hold on the wood and starts to root? How do I attach it in the meantime? I saw a gorgeous piece of driftwood that had some willow moss on it, and it still takes my breath away to look at it. I'd sure like this to work but I need some H E L P.
