A little more insight for you

Flame Moss is one of the better Mosses to use on wood.
Traditional Java Moss doesn't form very good attachments of it's own and tends to grow in an unruly way compared to Flame Moss which spreads well from several points of attachment anchoring itself as it grows.

Christmas Tree Moss and Weeping Moss are also cool to grow on wood.
Growing Mosses is something of a hobby in itself.

GOOD LUCK!!!
