sedum and other plants drying out!!

How do you keep them from drying out and getting all brittle? Deer moss grows wild around here, but it and other Wild scenery I have tried after a few years gets very brittle and starts to fall apart??

Boiling or soaking in glycerin is the old method.

I wonder if you could dip the armature in white glue before finishing or adding foliage.

Just a thought?

Here's a site giving the glycerine method. www.thegardener.btinternet.co.uk/preserving.html White glue will work but deer moss would still be very brittle. Glycerine is what the commercial people use on moss and caspia. You color with rit dye first for color if desired. FRED

Probally true. Deer moss and other dryed treated plants are dirt cheap at Hobby Lobby for one. Just avoid the plastic plants which sometimes look more real than real. FRED
