How to make Sci Fi Jungles

As my British Post Apoc setting has alien jungles and I hope to start a VSF Venus setting some day I decided to get some made. These are plastic aquarium plants based on washers.  

1. Take a metal washer - wash it washing up liquid (how many times can I get wash into a sentence! ha ha ha!)
2. Dry it and cove the hole with tape. 
3. Cover one side with PVA glue and cover with sand. 
4. When dry paint the base in your chosen base coat.
5. Chop plants and hot glue them on in clusters.
6. Paint the hot glue lumps.

Easy, quick and effective. Oh one other tip, get your plants form a local shop not GW. They are far cheaper.
