Unlike generic adhesives, it’s a purpose-built clay that grips moss to vertical glass and hardscape, then cures stable, with no shrinking or cracking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes it different\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eIt’s 100% mineral clay with no organic additives, so there’s nothing in it to feed mould or gnats. That makes it the safe choice for sealed jars and closed terrariums, for first-time builders, and for anyone who has fought mould before. It’s finely milled in small batches and tested in Brunei’s tropical conditions, with no synthetic additives and no artificial binders.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you can make with it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoss wall backing pressed directly onto jar glass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoss, fern and epiphyte mounting on hardscape and backgrounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShaped moss balls and wabikusa-style balls for display\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA clean, low-risk base for sealed bell jars and closed terrariums\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlants and moss that suit it\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMosses and liverworts, pressed into the surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSmall ferns and humidity-loving epiphytes mounted on hardscape\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlantlets and cuttings you want to hold in place while they root\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe clay itself is mineral and doesn’t feed plants, so it works best for moss and for plants that get their nutrition from elsewhere in the build.
