Growing plants in moss (or not soil)

[kjlyttle]

Hello! I am looking for plants that grow in something besides soil. I have made a paito fountain that has two (potted) plants in the fountain. When I water the plants, enevitably, soil gets into the fountain and mucks things up. I am looking for plants that I can place there (not orchids or bromiliads) that can grow in moss or some other medium that won't muck up my fountain? Please - any suggestions would help!
Thank you!

kjlyttle,

Here is a recipe worth trying.

Organic Blend: 5 gallons finished compost, 1 gallon builder's sand, 1 gallon vermiculite or perlite, 1 cup granular-all purpose organic fertilizer.

Standard Blend (Cornell Mix): 1 bushel vermiculite, 1 bushel ground sphagnum moss, 8 tablespoons super phosphate, 8 tablespoons ground limestone, 2 cups bone meal.

Light Blend (for rooftops): 5 gallons ground sphagnum moss, 5 gallons vermiculite or perlite, 2 gallons compost, 1 cup granular all-purpose organic fertilizer.

Good Luck, Jenna
