I've never had one on a moss pole before, but it should be possible to keep alive. If they're happy enough to sprout there, just keep doing what you're doing.

Hey, Rhus 👋 I don’t know how the ferns will fare against a moss pole specifically, but they should at least enjoy the moss aspect. Would you consider turning it into a kokedama (Japanese moss ball. There’s YouTube videos on how to make them)? I think the bonsai group could help too with making a kokedama. I’m pretty sure ferns are a popular plant put in moss balls.

I wanted to ask if you were still interested in taking a peperomia off my hands. Know you mentioned possibly being in my neck of the woods come March, so if you’re still interested in Izzy, I’m happy to give her a new home 😊

Here’s my instagram if you’re still interested: @adriandoyle\_art
