    This is some of my artificial stones I planted 6 months ago.
    The artificial stone is hollow and acts as a water reservoir that provides the Hygrolon mat and the plants on top of the stone with water via a wick. The water inside last aproximately 3-4 weeks on one filling.

    The whole technique is very simple and works on all types of hollow containers.

    Very nice!

    How do you get the material to adhere to the rock?
