Like Ross had said, I like to mount mine onto a piece of wood. I have a couple that are consistently putting out roots. It takes a while for them to grow them, but once they do, they just keep growing them. I tie them onto the mounts with fishing line. Even if they don't have roots, you can try to hold the plant in place on the mount using fishing line without having to use hot glue, TillyTacker, or any other glue for that matter. Whether you want to put a little bit of moss on the mount is up to you. You can totally forego the moss and it wouldn't matter.

If you still want to do the Tillandsia ball, just find the center where the roots clump together and tie using a thin wire, string, or fishing line.
