It was hard to get a good seal for the saran wrap around the two forks of the tree, and if I missed a day the moss would dry out. I sometimes have to miss a day of checking on my trees due to my work schedule. Also, I was not able to keep the moss pressed into the crevice between the trunks, so I found out that it had been really dry there even when the moss around it was moist. So, figuring I was fighting a loosing battle (i.e. trying to keep up with something that wasn't working), I just went with planting the next set of cuttings in the soil. I'll hopefully get enough of a nest of ariel roots that I can still achieve the look I was going for even though the first cuttings weren't actually grown epiphytic-ally.
