When I went to a certain store today they had absolutely enormous ones! Like a mini football! My eyes did pop out my head I can tell you - are these specially cultivated or constructed or does it just take patience to get them like that??

So I got bolder and mail ordered some weeping moss and star moss and am trying to make it grow on the fake hollow tree trunk I have. It's been two weeks and I am not sure about the weeping moss.
