The other pine after today´s workshop of our local club.

First pine in a new penjing.

The pine is fine, the penjing is poetic, but...
I WANT THAT MOSS!!!

OMG so many moss obsessed people at one place
But I guess I would be too if I haven´t had my source of moss not far from my home
It is vital for my trees as zeolite they grow in dries way too quickly in summer.

Try.
Just try to "grow" moss here in Brazil.
We are now in the beginning of autumn, temperatures are mild (30/32C when sunny), but the moss FRY after just one day in the sun!

Ha, Mimo... At this pace you are taking, in no time you´ll end up being an European authority in Penjing compositions...

As for the moss issues... Yes, same as Clicio, do try to grow some moss on 45ºC in full summer time or even in Spring with temps of around 25ºC with no rain whatsoever :dry:

All right lads I get it, my sincere condolences for you moss loss
As to Penjing authority Alain - buhahahahaha
Everytime I think I made something nice I remember or replay the video on youtube from some penjing exhibition in indonesia or china and I see the long way that´s ahead of me yet

Ha... That´s why I said European... Still, and now being completely serious, the experience you are gathering with Penjing compositions is not to disdain. As for Chinese and Indonesian Penjings... Well, they might be very well unbeatable, after all, centuries of experience fall at their side first. But, hey, do no falter in your purpose... There is nothing stronger than a man with a purpose or with an idea.

i gotta say, very jealous about your moss. as soon as spring hits here with a little sun all my moss is yellow. lol
