Instructions
Purchase plants that will do well in the area that you are placing it.
Water it early in the day, or the night before.
Remove it from its pot and shake off the excess dirt.
Trim any wayward roots, and gently mold it into a ball shape.
Use sheet moss to cover the roots.
Wrap the moss up with twine firmly around the root ball, crisscrossing, until the moss is held in place.
Display the plant on a dish or tray, or, make a hanging string garden.
