Growing Moss
Comments (46)I've been growing moss in my yard and woods for the last several years. It started with moss in the lawn on the north side of my house where grass wouldn't grow, so I started nurturing and transplanting the moss until I now have a nice thick moss lawn there. It has taken the better part of 10 years to cover completely. About 3 years ago I started transplanting it in patches along my woods paths, and the banks of my dry creek. It is filling in nicely and takes quite a bit of traffic, tho I do put down stepping stones to take the pressure off. I just transplant it; from the woods in spots, from a local nursery where it is growing everywhere and they just scrape it off and toss it; sidewalks, areas where they are going to bulldoze, etc. Many different kinds. It all needs good contact with bare soil, so I scrape the area clean and put the patches down , pressing it firmly. I've not lost very much, keeping it damp until it adheres firmly, then let nature take its course. I try to make sure it has the same kind of exposure where it was originally grow, i.e. sunny area moss in sunny places, shady or wet area moss correspondingly. I also pick up stones and small logs with moss for the woods. The only real problems I've had are squirrels and birds stealing it. They constantly pull up patches that I have to be vigilant in putting back down. If it is thin sheet moss sometimes I have to put a rock or two on it to keep it from being stolen by the birds for their nests. But I've noticed the more they scatter the bits, the more moss grows. Also, seems like the more moss I transplant, the more it spreads by spores. Some of it grows pretty fast and will cover a large area in no time, some is really slow. I've had a lot of fun with it.

Comments (7)Okay, one of my pet peeves is stores/books/etc saying that certain plants are 'very low light' and not qualifying that statement. That means low light for PLANTS. What looks like low light to a human is not enough for plants. Low light for plants is actually light bright enough to read by for humans. We really have no idea how dark our houses are for our poor plants. And besides all that, I have java moss growing very happily in my terrarium, which is definitely not low light. While a 'mature' clump of moss may be shocked and get burned by sudden bright light all day, and should therefore be somewhat acclimatized to it slowly, people who are in the business of growing plants never grow plants in low light. They use the best light they can, because the better the light, the faster plants grow. And java moss can grow very quickly indeed! =) So don't worry about any plant getting too much light. About the only thing that would be too much would be placing a houseplant outside in full sun all day. The result would be severe leaf burn, but the plant could actually survive, and new growth will always adapt to the conditions that it's emerging in, so new growth would automatically be used to higher light, and would not burn. Oh yeah, and 4-8 hours of fluorescent light is not much at all. It would barely supplement any natural sun your terrariums would be receiving. 10-12 is enough if the terrarium gets some real sun, and my tank, which gets no sun at all, gets 14 hours of lights on. So no offense to anyone, it's not your fault, but plant books and proffessional plant growers really need to be more specific about lighting requirements for plants!...See MoreI need Moss
Comments (2)HI, I have been wanting to start a terrarium and I was just at Lowe's today and got some sheet moss for $3 it says 325 sq in.there were bigger bags too, but I don't need that much, sorry didn't price the bigger bag. I don't know if that is a good price or not, and 10 plants for .50 each and a hanging basket of a strawberry geranium for $1..I always watch at Lowe's for plants on clearence. Usually all they need is a good watering and a little tlc. I don't know if that will help you out. linda...See MoreSelling Moss, Looking for wholesalers
