can anyone answer this that has done it

[dragonkeeper68]

I currently have 6 Japanese moss balls, and I would like to attach a couple to some of my driftwood. In hopes that in time it would grow and cover my driftwood.
Has this been done before? Is it possible for it to eventually attach itself further, and continue to grow?

Has it been done before? I'm sure someone has tried it.

Attach itself? Nope, it will not attach itself.

Here is some discussion on this subject:

Cladophora

It'll attach itself if you give it enough time, you just need to keep it touching. Mine used to grow really slowly but then it took off.

Ok, so if I kinda cut it apart and attach it with rubber bands, then in time possibly my driftwood will be covered?
Is there another kind of moss I can get that will grow better on my driftwood?

I've grown both java moss and clado on driftwood and java moss tends to grow faster, but both will work.

Many kinds of Moss

Flame
Xmas
Mini Xmas
Taiwan
Peacock
Fissidens
Erect
etc.....
Java grows easy, but it's not the prettiest Moss. I prefer other types.
