Specialty Gardening: Ever seen moss- balls?, 1 by frogsrus

Not a great picture but look what happened to Fiona's first mossball that she made the end of July. The spider is happily rootbound. I did not notice the baby until today. I guess this ball needs a hanger lol. It is a very small mossball and no longer stands alone very well. I think the green spider is too prolific for the mossballs. The striped one stayed small.

Thank you again Tomtom. This is a wonderful project when friends come over. We are going to use small succulents for the next ones we make. I have been rooting some kalanchoe and others. They will not be especially elegant but the 11 year olds do not care. (and the plants do not care if they miss a watering or two.) I was laughing this morning that I should start a mother of thousands ball. I have them coming up in every pot in the cactus garden. It would be a wild looking thing.
