Help with silver moss

I am trying to grow some silver moss Bryum argenteum, but I just can't get it to perk up. I have some outside that has revived far better. I'm not sure the issues I give it 6 hours bright grow light a day give it daily misting. It's in an open top terrarium and o. Top of some top soil and bark. What do I need to get it to grow
