Re: [Aroid-l] off subject:: rain forest tree moss

**S* H* <s*@yahoo.com>**

Thanks for taking the time to reply.  What I'm looking
for is a dense-growing, green, and relatively short
(less than 6") moss that usually grows around the
limbs like a shag carpet.  It doesn't hang down like
the Spanish moss, which I already have.  I've tried
the local tree moss, but it doesn't tolerate
greenhouse temperatures very well.  Thanks again for
your interest.
