Paint the containers and wait for drying. Soak the moss to a comfortable consistency, that will allow you to “sculpt”. Lay it in layer to the second level of cells, tightly clutching it to the walls of the container. Then sprinkle a layer of soil on the moss premixed with fertilizer (as per instructions). Seal it well, and pour a little water.
