@alexanderlauruhn2961 2 года назад

Could you show how that looks like after several month ( cause I doubt it will work with Bryum this way) ? And why do you add that much moss if you want to grow? Actually it would be enough if you add a few very tiny pieces so the moos has enough space to grow.

@TheUrbanNemophilist 2 года назад

This is an old video. I actually used up the moss for my projects in the next couple of weeks. I have several boxes now and they double up as plant conditioning boxes as well. Typically moss will grow leggy and tall in enclosed spaces. The growth is mostly vertical and very minimal as ground cover.

I still don't understand why substrate is needed when moss has no roots, and gathers its water and nutrients from the top. Can you point me to any research that suggests the moss is actually taking anything from the substrate?

@TheUrbanNemophilist Год назад

Moss has rhizoids which they use to latch onto any available substrate. The species used here prefers acidic substrate so soil helps. The substrate also helps retain moisture that benefits the moss. This method works for me. Am sure there are other methods. Feel free to follow what works for you.

@MrClockw3rk Год назад

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Understood, but what constitutes it's "preference" for acidic substrate? Is something from that substrate being taken in? And if not, does it actually "prefer" it in the sense that removing it does something detrimental?

@damianmlegacy7311 10 месяцев назад

@MrClockw3rk Moss prefers a soil pH range of 5.0 to 5.5. If a soil test shows the soil pH to be greater than 6.0, sulfur can be used to acidify the soil. I'm sure other moss can be different and most will thrive. I would think it take longer to grow on a rock than dirt. Also would be harder to move from rock to desired spot. Dirt can keep the space, maybe moisture, The home it been siting on. To be easier to move. That's just what works for them. What works best for you?

I'm just asking if I should use gravel and charcoal or not, cause till now I don't have any problem with my moss.

Gravel false bottom helps to store excess water and sets up a rain cycle that can keep the moss hydrated at all times. Separate watering will not be needed then. Charcoal works as an antibacterial agent to remove toxins which can kill the moss in the long run. These are all based on my experience and study.

Hi, Very helpful video.. Was wondering, how long it takes for moss to grow, say to double in volume/size?

@TheUrbanNemophilist 3 года назад

Thanks. Moss is slow growing when it comes to home propagation setups The strands can grow tall quite fast but takes very long to cover surface area. Sometimes they may not grow if the right balance of temperature, humidity and light is not achieved. It’s always challenging to mimic conditions that helps moss to grow in nature.

Hi a huge fan of your videos, I recently made a propagation moss but and a terrarium shelf with lights like I had shown in your previous videos but like the moss is turning yellow any help can u suggest??

@TheUrbanNemophilist 2 года назад

Thank you. Some species of moss may not work in enclosed spaces. Also check out temperature, light conditions and moisture levels.

@dr.vivekganesan2116 2 года назад

@@TheUrbanNemophilist as u had suggest in your old videos like the light measurement using the app I guess the light meter it was 3200 lux and like not very warm keeping a good moderate temp and misting.. any way thanks. Hope I could show u my propagation Biņ.

You can source ethically from the wild or buy from aquascaping stores or online.

Hi, what did you tap on the box from 7:10 to 7:38? What is the substance and how does it help to clean the fungus?

@TheUrbanNemophilist 2 года назад

Those are springtails. You can learn more about them in this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-D6GxODPVe7I.html

thanks for the info . You didnt seam to leave much room for the moss to propagate into . do you think you should have left more room or does moss grow really slowly ?

@TheUrbanNemophilist 2 года назад

Thanks. As mentioned in separate comments I keep using up the moss for my projects so theres always room.

I have a question... A propogation box is to grow more moss from the moss you out in the box, right? So if you've filled the box up where can it grow to, should the box only be a quarter or half full? I'm new to this and am searching info before getting into it so I have an idea of where to start. Cheers 👍🏽
