Oh, using a command hook! Brilliant. I am going to do this! My first time too. Any advice?

I used fishing line wrapped around craft nails to secure the moss and it’s worked pretty well so far. When I water it I have just been dropping it face down in a container of water for a bit and so far so good. Still no new growth but it’s still alive!
