Why BMI Is a Crock, in Pictures. So, the Guess The Rotund's Height and Weight game gave me an idea. (Oh, and hey, if you want to see a scatter graph of the results, there's one here now.) I talk a lot about how BMI is bullshit, but we all know talk is cheap.
As suggested in the above links (Thanks! ShellaB, for posting those links -- The first one was especially useful.), you can use monofilament plastic fish line to tie the fern to the basket, if needed. I stuffed my staghorn's basket with a combination of leaf litter, spaghnum, and Spanish Moss.
Moss is a relatively uncomplicated plant, lacking the leaves, stems, roots, and buds we often associate with âvascular plants such as ferns, pine trees, and flowers. As a non-vascular plant, the body of moss has no roots; rather, it uses tiny threads to anchor itself to the stones, trees, or ground where it grows. If you asked moss to describe its dream home, it would likely reply: cool, moist, and dark. Most species prefer shady ground, rock ledges, or tree trunks.
