Topiary maintenance

lilygist
14 years ago

I'm new to topiaries. I took chicken wire and stuffed it with sphagnum moss and am training some creeping fig to crawl over it. I rather like it, you can see a pictures at the link at the bottom.

But, I don't know what I'm doing, honestly. I don't know if the sphagnum moss will degrade over time and if it does I don't know what to do about it. I was told I needed it by a gardener friend but topiary isn't his specialty. I just want this to last.

Does anyone have any advice for me on how to make it work and what sort of maintenance I'll need?

Here is a link that might be useful: Pictures of the topiary
