    Default Reviving a Ficus Pumila

    Haha, you're awesome, Bill! No new growth yet, but I've been watering it consistently and keeping my fingers crossed! I'll (hopefully) be finishing all construction on the viv this weekend (I took a little break for finals/vacation). So, hopefully once I get it planted and established, it'll grow!!

    Awesome, thanks! My other plants are doing really well. I have them in little Eco pots in the viv. All of my moss had died, though. I'm taking it as a sign to be some other cool mosses that'll really flourish!

    I have some java moss for you. It may be Christmas moss. It's growing in a clump in the back of my aquatic tank.

    Seriously? That's awesome! Java is for the water portion, correct? I also read that it'll attach to wood and rocks.

    Cool! I also read that buying "tropical moss" is a great choice. I'm not sure of the specific name, but I always see it labeled as that. I need something for the land portion that'll really flourish. Would you recommend this type?

    absolutely. Black jungle has some of the best sheet moss around.

    Awesome! So I'll be ordering the sheet ASAP, and the java from you whenever it's available. I'm not too sure on how to "plant" water mosses though, hmm

    It is as easy as placing it in a nice humid spot. It will grow on it's own.

    Am I correct in assuming that it'll only grow in water, or soggy environments? I wanted to tie some to a couple big rocks in the water portion

    Oh, it will thrive under water. Or as a marginal. In dart tanks, it flourishes all over the place due to the high humidity.

    Around what humidity level? I'm going to buy a Mist King and attempt to keep the humidity level pretty high.
