Just got a massive delivery of live stuff for my next project but it came much faster than I anticipated and I have no idea what to do with it : /

Will it be ok on top of some RO moistened hydroponic growing media in a tupperware box? I can put clingfilm over the top to keep in the humidity. I also want to top dress a one of my plants (wierdly the others are already dressed), do I just pull out a few strands and plonk them on top or should they be planted in some way?

Ive taken a few strands to tuck round my neps and left left the rest in the clear bag it was delivered in, under my grow light. Fingers crossed I'll grow a bit that way too.

It seems to be working, the top layer is now a brighter green and I've just been opening the bag and rearranging the moss a bit to try and rotate the bits that get the best light.

assuming they have enough light and water, are gre[…]
