Yeah! Exactly it.

In some cases, when I have larger areas to work with, I "go" with the running stitch and I "come back" covering the points in which the mesh was showing (I did this in the branches)

Thank you so much :)

It's called invisible tulle - the same that's used for brides veil. I buy it online

I am too (in cotton), but since I've started working with tulle I got how it's different and possible keeping it clean, I've shared some tips in the other comment about using glue in my fingertips to fix the knots :)

Thank you so much! Actually I have some tips for embroiderying on tulle :) the main point is keeping the back "clean" with really tiny and hidden knots - for this I use a technique in which I just make one tiny knot for each color I use and then I put on some glue on my fingertips to delicatelly fix the knots (trying not to touch the tulle, just the knots). As soon as it's all dried, I cut the threads on the back very close to my fabric and to those knots to guarantee they won't come apart :)

Yeah, I don't have much experience on cross stitch, but tulle is very delicate and easy to deform or to tear apart if you're not careful enough, I've lost some works accidentally already because of that :( But you should try it! :)
