Hi JK, Yeah, it's not really a 'weekend' project! We have been at this since sometime in early January! The hardest part is going to be trying
NOT to over-do it with the plants! I plan on using a lot of ferns (some pretty exotic), hoyas (for scent), neps (of course!),. a few orchids here and there and a mixture of various epiphytes I've been growing. Hopefully by December of this year you won't be seeing the black of the capillary mat anymore! I really need to put in a lot of very small things that can then root themselves firmly into place. It will take some time but I think it'll be worth it!
