Growing moss

[Jaap]

Hello,

I have this piece of moss and would like to grow more out of it. How do I achieve that?

Thanks

Looks like its on its last legs mate ! Best call the priest ;(

Its a terrestrial moss mot an aquatic one. If that counts for anything

I've grown moss before from seed for my bonsais , and used John innes no1 which I baked in the oven for a while to kill any beasties and bacteria ( sterile) .
Then put it in a propagater tray and moistened then planted the seeds and popped the lid on.
Remember to keep it nice and damp in there by spraying it everyday not wet though.
Painfully slow growing from seed !

Stick it to the roof of my house its guaranteed to grow. what are your plans for this moss?

 

[Jaap]

I want to use it in pots of flowers

 

[kirk]

Ah I see. As a moisture retainer?. .

I'm sure I've read somewhere to cut it up and mix it with yoghurt then spread it where you want it to grow

I just flatten the soil on top of the pot,lay it on then keep it watered and out the sun..

 

[Jaap]

Out of the sun or into the sun?

Keep it shaded..
