It seems that one it dries, it might not give a lot of support for an end heavy branch. I have you tried this at all?
I think the added moss really makes the whole thing "pop" in depth and color as well. And what's so great about the foam is that you an tack in different plants and silicone them in place. Even just a staple gun should work so you can have hanging vines and such.
Nicely done, TME. How long did the whole project cost you in time? And where oh where did you get the black silicone?? I can't find that stuff anywhere!
I really wish I'd not lost my pc that all my photos of my project on it. It's also a very simple piece and would be made even easier had I not had to make it marine safe.

I used a few decking screws to be sure to be sure.
Hold my inside panels nicely in place as well .
(I did not spray on the inside of the enclosure..i used a wooden panel (or rather three)
Left back and righ side, these are connected with steel 90 degree hooks so neither ofd the side would flop.
This afternoon my 18 month old girls decided to climb onto the planter in front of which i had put my "inset" while giving the actual viv box another paint
She used a branch set in the back as a foothold... it held I'm proud to say
