Default New Java Moss Question

I just put some Java Moss in my tank and have a question. Does it look like I've got enough tied to the rocks?

Should I tie this moss down even tighter than I have now, so are there no streamers floating away like there are currently?

Thanks in advance.

This is what I do with my Java Moss. An idea for you, in case you had not seen or known of this before: How to plant and grow java moss? | AquaticMagic Blog

I don't use stainless steel wire mesh. I use the black fiberglass/plastic/vinyl screening sold at Home Depot or Lowes. The shorter rolls are only a few dollars, last forever and have many other uses around the house and garden too..

That's certainly what I am planning to do for my carpets. I used fishing line for this, I've read also using a "shower puff" unraveled to hold it down, it is supposed to be a good size. But these rocks have holes in the center and was trying to not restrict that w/ nylon. Though I guess really I could just wrap it w/ that and then trim out the holes, but the main question here is, is it tied down enough currently?

If they're just loose like that with little baby hairs kind of poking out, they'll be ok. I watched my friend make hers and it just took time for them to fill out and they looked good. She also told me that leaving them a little flayed out like that helps them get more light to help the growing a smidge more since it's not as densely packed so light hits more of it. Before you know it, yours will be full and covered
