This lesson shows how to finish a rock-planting composition with moss and accent plants. You’ll learn how to choose and apply moss—essential for protecting ketotsuchi—and how to secure it neatly with U-shaped copper wire. The video also demonstrates creating a natural landscape with Kogane-shida (golden fern) and Itadori (Japanese knotweed), covering balance, size adjustment, and harmony with the stone to achieve a lifelike scene.
