To do it is easy and simple,Liz.

1)Remove the soil off the plant,taking care that you won't damage the roots.
2) Cover the roots with the soil which retains water well and make a ball.
3)Place moss you can find aroud all over the ball.
4)Tie up the moss-ball with dark,preferably green or black cotton threads so it may not crumble.
5) Soak the ball,put it on a plate and keep it in the shade until it gets rooted.
6)What is important is to keep it from drying off.

You are right,Anastatia,in saying that this would make a neat gift .Everyone who receives it is extremely grateful.
There has been no exception so far.
Dwarf house plants are the most recommendable targets since you can enjoy their moss-ball indoors.
In such cases bog moss is a lot better than true moss.
