Without trying, I always seem to end up with a moss covering (and mini-ferns) in my indoor plant pots, which looks good and prevents soil spray when I water them...
Poem 141 of 230: IN A SMALL POT
(TUNE:
D F# F# F# G F# E E D E E E F# E D D)
I like Acers But rent a flat, So mimic one In a small pot:
As for starters, I made a plat Of ivy run Out from one spot;
To this basis, All round the mat, In a trunk-bun, Dirt - soaked a lot;
Without traces (Not got down pat), A moss-lawn spun And short-ferns shot;
And, like Acers, Branches have sat - Wirework done - Toward the pot;
Trimmed with scissors, This foliage-hat Thrives in the sun Of my sill-plot.
