its foam, would it be possible to silicone them to the wall.

i would hot glue the plants to it with some sphagnum moss to keep the plants moist and help them to root. also if its bromeliads you can make small hole and place the plant stem into it

so the hot glue isn't toxic?

Nope it is not as far as I know. I used it before and plants are fine. Just make sure you don't put too much glue on you may burn the plant just a little dab and you should be good.

An alternative would be to use toothpicks or plastic coated floral wire.

Hot glue isn't toxic - I use it all the time. It can be a bit hard to get to stick to plants though. Also, when attaching broms to a foam background, I'm finding that the foam will cause the stolon to rot and often eventually kills the plant. so be careful.

Is there anything you can do to avoid that?

i have used the fake vines u can buy at petsmart and cut a 2-3inch peice and shape into a U shape and stick that into the foam or clay then put the brom down through the U and it holds it.

Im curious how to mount broms or plants into a fake rock background? anyone know? I was going to start a thread but this could be a good place to have ways to mount plants into any background. ( sorry not trying to hijack)

That is a good idea and I don't mind at all...lol I would like to know as well! But I am guessing the hot glue would work well or you could silicone some little small square flowerpots to it! I siliconed moss around mine and the stuck them to the wall, it works
