Make sure the sphagnum is damp & saturated before sterilising in the microwave

Gotta say. This video fills me with hope for my own terrariums. Made my first today. Foraged from the local area. But growing my own moss would obviously be more ideal. And this tutorial is exactly what I needed to see.

Nice, I have a few dozen containers of moss, many different kinds, and use it to protect the dirt from the sun and rain in cups with strawberry seedlings. I just grow the moss on bare soil, and put just enough water in the support tray every day to keep everything going~

@chilwill5081 7 месяцев назад

How many time spray water in a day?

@thrivinginamber2642 7 месяцев назад

I never spray water, the dirt wicks the water from the tray below. I pour some water in the bottom of each tray most every day, which is sooo much faster than spraying~

I had an old bad of half used potting soil and I harvested the best moss from the bag to start my propogation indoors. Despite not having sphagnum on hand this hould turn out well hopefully since it was harvested from the soil it's currently sitting on.

@emmartin5170 4 месяца назад

Great video. I wonder if you know whether this method would work with "delicate fern moss" - aka thuidium? I have been collecting moss and putting them in domed seed sprouters with LED lights and air vents. I haven't yet tried chopping up any moss, so I'm thrilled with the potential. But, I had to order (and pay dearly for) the fern moss. If this method works on it, my purse would be grateful!

The video of the propagation of the moss is very nice. I want to ask you but how much what the spagnum moss in general, less than 5 euros I hope... Where can I withdraw it? from a nursery, from a terrarium shop ?.. How much moisture do they need? How often should I moisten ? How many springtails do I wear? Aren't they in danger of eating moss? What do they feed on once the decaying matter is finished, or in general? Thank you and regards

Could i use peat in place of regular sphagnum moss? I've a whole bag of it from a previous project i need to use

@peas524 6 месяцев назад

moss is non-vascular, has no roots. The medium you use does not matter. What is important is that it retains moisture and moss needs to be wet to grow. Peat would work but the benefit of using sphagnum is that it reduces chance of mould outbreaks. Peat is essentially decomposed spahgnum. However it is not sustainable!!!!!!

Mosses are mostly very low maintenance. They receive moisture and nutrients from the air around them and they don’t need much light. If you don’t add a difficult plant in your terrarium it might even make caring for yours easier.

@Alisha-vy5lb 3 месяца назад

I propagate and sell moss, you can use soil preferably high acidic as moss found in the wild thrive on highly acidic soil. Create drainage levels prior to adding moss. Add gravel or pea rocks, preferably activated charcoal to cut down on any mold/ disease. Use a screen on top then place soil. If you collect moss outdoors, use the soil it’s already thriving in. I throughly wash any of my collected outdoors moss with distilled water first and then add it to the soil. Moss thrives in the wild without Sphagnum moss. It’s definitely not a necessity in propagation.

The soil from outside can contain critters and maybe diseases. Washing the moss a few times in a bowl of water, maybe sterilized water, can never hurt. You can get sterilized water easily if you have a clothesdryer that doesn’t dispose of the water but stores it in one of those little container like drawers.

The lid prevents the water from escaping. I recommend spraying it down every time you check on it. Besides that the water won’t be lost, because the plant recycles the water by evaporation.
