    I just loved spending this 1/2 hour with you and learning so much about this beautiful plant. I was gifted 2 of them in March and they are doing well, but I wanted more information about keeping them alive and propagating them. Your laid back style of sharing was fun. I felt I was across the table from you, drinking my tea and laughing with you. Thanks from a San Diego, CA new follower!

    I had this, I just left it, less light might help as the moss loves loots of light. You can pick out any really green bits of moss but really it shouldnt hurt, mine was green and gross before they grew all over it 😂
