Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

plants other than moss that don't need dirt?

13 years ago

What are some plants, other than moss, that can grow and attach to cement? I have some cement sculptures that I'm growing moss on, but would also like to experiment with other plants that will attach itself to the cement. Are there any airplants that will do this, that won't require watering? Also looking for things that grow fairly fast... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Get serious. They'll all require frequent water.

To grow, not to stay looking like a plant. I got 10 year old moss that looks just like it did when I picked it. Spare me your hostile comments please.

Hey now... Not hostile here. I thought it was a riddle. Tillandsia usneoides and Tillandsia recurvata may survive in the deep south without additional water.
