Joe,

I have grown moss - and grass for that matter - on EpiWeb. It's is no
problem if you keep it moist. I don't think it's a great idea for orchids,
but it's great in vivaria.

Here is a site, from the manufacturer I think, that shows moss growing?
or placed? on the E/W. One way to encapsulate it for water retention or
at least slow down evaporation of what water it does hold. Wonder what
kind of moss it is. This site has a number of interesting methods for
E/W use.

No wicking to speak of, Reka. Once watered, it does HOLD some water
droplets, but that's as discrete droplets scattered throughout the
matrix.

If you read carefully, Sue said it was once SUGGESTED to use Oasis in
this
manner. She didn't mean that it WAS Oasis in the picture.

I can imagine using Epiweb this way, too. I haven't played around with
it
much yet. Ray, it probably doesn't wick up water at all, does it?
