How to grow moss

Growth habit

Generally it requires around 20℃, and the optimal temperature is above 25℃ for better growth. Due to the continued low temperatures in winter, the plants need to be moved indoors for breeding. Half shade. A certain amount of diffuse light is required. It likes a dark and humid growing environment. The best growing seasons are spring and autumn.

Farming methods

illumination

Moss plants prefer semi-shade and avoid direct sunlight. They are generally grown in a cool place, and shading measures should be taken in summer. At the same time, sufficient diffuse light is also needed, generally the morning sunlight is enough, and good ventilation is also required.

Moisture

Moss likes moisture, so maintain a humid growing environment and use more sprays to maintain a high air humidity. Water thoroughly while avoiding waterlogging.

soil

Moss prefers slightly acidic soil. Generally, peat soil mixed with rotten leaves can be chosen.

container

Generally, closed or semi-closed glass containers are chosen. Not only can we better appreciate the moss in all directions, but it is also suitable for the growth of moss.

How to propagate moss

Moss plants can be propagated by division, budding or spore sowing. Mass production generally uses division or budding propagation.

Propagation by division

It is generally carried out in months with higher temperatures, more precipitation and higher air humidity. Choose slightly acidic soil as the medium for division propagation, carefully separate the mother plant, and then plant multiple plants or in groups in the prepared medium, maintain a high-humidity growth environment, and they will survive in about a week. After a period of time, it will be able to reproduce and grow naturally.

Bud propagation

During the vegetative and reproductive growth period of moss, many adventitious buds grow between the leaves and branches. These adventitious buds can develop into adventitious roots and then become a complete plant. Generally, during the moss growing season, strong adventitious buds are selected, cut off from the mother plant, and planted separately to grow into independent plants.
