Been given a tiny piece of willow moss...

It's a clump about half the size of a bottle cap. It's not a single piece either, but lots of little strands. I have no idea how to tie it onto anything without bits just floating away - is there any point to even trying? It wouldn't survive as a floating plant, right...?

Thanks!

IF its too small to tie to something then yeah you can try to float it,or if you have a small container,you can place it on a window sill to grow out a little.

If you get a mesh bag, like sometimes onions come in or whatever, and put the moss in it, and a rock or whatever you are tying it to, the moss will be contained and grow out over the mesh stuff so that you cannot see it.

Super glue is good to stick down things that are too fiddly to deal with.
