Our table top topiaries - animals, birds and other shapes - are made of hand formed galvanized steel wire, welded, stuffed with long fiber sphagnum moss and planted with ficus repens (creeping fig). It's easy to keep alive as long as you will provide moisture to the roots of the plants planted inside the figure. The table top topiaries don't have to be always fully wet. Most of the small figures should be watered every four to five days depending on how hot or dry the room/house is. If the outer layer of sphagnum moss is dry to the touch it should be watered. The best way to water these topiaries is to "dunk" in the water. Best fill the sink or small tub with water, sumbmerge the topiary under the water surface and wait for the air bubbles to stop coming out. Drain the access of water and place it back in its place. If for any reason the plant will die, don't throw it away. It's easy to replant it. Don't throw away the pins either. Good luck with you pick.
