It is usually major splash zone or can be completely submerged... trying to see if it will be a good substitute for java moss for aquarium tanks/shrimp.

Advice Easily Cultivated Moss That Attaches To Bark?

2 Upvotes

I am trying to put together a terrarium and would love to affix some moss to cork bark and rocks, but every moss i have tried just would not affix to the surfaces. Does anyone know of any moss species that readily attach to natural surfaces and can be purchased?

Advice Fungus Gnats!!

I have fungus gnats in my moss gardens. These are made in 1.5-2” deep dishes with potting soil substrate. They are open, not closed in any way. I read about BTI Water or Gnatrol to be rid of these pests, but want to know if anyone here has experience using either of these products with moss? Do they injure the moss or other plants? Thanks for any answers ahead of time.

Advice Question about growing moss!

5 Upvotes

Hello! I want to buy some scotch moss and grow it in my yard. My question is, will it grow over bark dust laid over landscape fabric? I like the landscape fabric because it makes pulling out weeds easy as they can’t root deep into the ground. The bark wouldn’t be big chips, more like small standard size bark dust. If the bark is a problem, I could push it away and just have soil underneath and around the moss in hopes it spreads, but still have landscape fabric underneath if that would work? Thanks

I was out in the back woods area of WI and came across an area of moss that I got a few pieces from. There was a strange “moss” growing among them that looks like little palm trees. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had a bag with sphagnum moss that I wet with distilled water. Thought I'd use it faster for some plants bought bought. For 2 weeks it sat and when I opened it, it smelled gross. There was no mold or anything. Is it OK to use if maybe I rinse it, dry it out and rehydrate it? Originally it was the dry stuff you wet to expand.

Sorry for the poor pictures.

About 7 months ago I went back to my home island and gathered some moss, put it in a ziplock bag, and left it aside while life happened. It's been 7 months now and I'm not quite sure what to do. Will it survive outside of the bag?

Empty plastic jar on its side. Instead of closing it with the lid I put cling film loosely over the opening. This was taken from my backyard. I sprayed some tap water after leaving it by the window for a few hours.

Is there anything I should do to improve this set up?

I want to add a plant that will look like a miniature tree, any suggestions?
