How to Attach Fake Moss to a Terra Cotta Planter

Add a greener element to indoor and outdoor potted plants using decorative fake moss. Decorate a terra cotta planter with various designs, giving the planter your signature touch. Circle the planter in moss rings of various sizes. Cut shapes and letters out of sheets of artificial moss, and place them in creative patterns on the planter. Cover the outside of the entire planter to give it a completely green appearance. Give your garden a green, earthy look by adding planters with different designs made from artificial moss.
