There was a young man selling these at the green house today he made it himself. I of course had to buy it but now like how do I keep it alive?

Wow! That's really creative! I would just put it somewhere sunny and water the soil only when it completely dries out.

Maybe use a spray bottle to water.

That's what I was thinking since it's such a small area and I want to try to keep the wood from going bad any faster

I do this too. Water it like it rained on them. This method is really better for ephiphites (sp?) but since these guys doing need tons of water maybe it’ll work
