How to Propagate Your Own Moss

Hey everyone and happy father's day to all the dads out there (pet dads count too)! Anyways here is the long awaited and highly requested moss care video. You guys have been asking me about this for about 9 months and it may have been the most requested video yet. This whole process is really quite simple and relatively cheap. Especially if you harvest the moss yourself. There's no need to over think it.

If there are any looming questions, be sure to let me know! Also it's easier for me to address your comments if you start your own thread.

By the way, I think I neglected to thank you all for 50k subs! It really means a lot and I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and don't forget I'm on Instagram as well @serpadesign

did they expand? pls tell me cuz if they not, i have to buy regularly

I’ve made multiple terrariums but after a few weeks the moss got covered in white spots like eggs or something, is it possible that it was some kind of mold?

I use moss around the base of a few bonsai trees I'm growing and it's good at keeping away small flying insects

What are the substrate used for moss growing? Please help me

You mention that you are using an inexpensive 20qt TUPPERWARE container, but Tupperware is not inexpensive. Is this actually Tupperware or is it some other brand of container? I am having the hardest time finding a clear container with a tight-fitting lid on amazon so it could be that I need to look for Tupperware. Look forward to hearing from you so I can get my own moss garden going. Love all your vids. thank you for sharing all that you do. I have created so many things for my mom, who is bedridden. and none of it would have been possible without your videos.

I was taking some dried dead moss from trees on a recent trip to Alaska for D&D terrain (looks pretty realistic when it's literal dead plants) when I got an idea to take live moss. At first I was going to let it dry out, but after visiting 49th state brewing in Anchorage and seeing a massive moss wall, I decided I wanted to make one of my own. I didn't take very much so I will need to grow some more before putting it into a Picture frame, thanks for the in depth video, I will be following your Living Moss Picture Frame more or less as well! Keep growing.

how would you grow moss on a rock during winter time?

Could the moss be used to then create a moss wall artwork?

Just grabbed some from a rock in the forest for my aquarium, but I forgot I could bring unwanted guests along with it + the different types of moss could be that the one I picked cannot live under full submersion. I have zero knowledge of which moss is what so there's that. Great video!

this video inspired me, watched it and the next day despite living in a desert i somehow managed to find a small patch of moss in a hole somewhat near a water source, i cant wait to see how itll look soon

Hi I live in Massachusetts and I want to start keeping moss. Would a basement be good for all year round keeping? Do I have to worry about the temperature in my basement during the winter?

Thank you so much@

The only thing I would like to say: do not harvest your moss in the forest, I mean from it's soil, by removing the roots, because it might take YEARS to grow it back at its place.

Hello where do you store your moss when when waiting for it to grow inside the house or garage ?and at what temperature Thanks

I got a venus fly trap with moss in the soil, so I am planning on propagating both of em.

is just natural light okay?

I've noticed pillow moss seems to prefer quick draining, average soil moisture. I always find it on slopes near tree bases and near areas with a lot of rocks. It's possible it also has a preference for more alkaline soil and needs more fertilizer than the others you mentioned.

Moss is Boss

I live in Gilbert Az :(
Id have to drive at least three hours and go on a hike to find moss 😢

Great videos. hen washing the moss here, are you using the bottled water, or can we wash he moss with tap water, or maybe filtered tap water?

Thank you

Do you use actual "grow bulbs" or just regular ol'led bulbs?

Tanner can touch something and it propagates lol

Can someone please tell me why both of the containers in which I tried to grow moss they grew mushrooms? I was very excited to grow some but I ended up having to get rid of it because it was covered in mushrooms and maybe mold? 😢

Except in Arizona. It’s not plentiful. You can find some around creeks and other water ways but not guaranteed.

@BdoubleO

Thanks! I collected moss from the forest and now I know what types! Thread, Fern and Hypnum.

Awesome video.. thank you. So I detect a Maryland accent?

Good work

I'm so confused how mold doesn't grow

How can I combine this with a springtail farm

thank u for ur video but how do u prevent box or glass from algae ? because when u have more humidity and light , then defenitly u have algae !!!

Too many adverts - I gave up on it

just place it on stone and spam bone meal

To sterilise soil 60c degrees or 140f for 30 minutes

I'd really appreciate a video on lighting, I don't understand grow lights and what kind of lighting set up I would need for plants that aren't near a window

Thank you so much for the video. I would like to know what is the substrate you are referring to. Is it regular potting soil?

I just slapped moss onto my garden and it overtook the whole surface. I don't knwo what to do, it's everywhere and I'm afraid of leaving the house

I grow moss in plastic containers with nothing but water and a pinch of Dr Earth fertilizer.

That one undead lady in undead burg be like 😮

Double billboards? Hmmmmmmm Ile take them to go please cheers 😂

Glad I found your spot here.. I used to be into mosses as would use them either with or in conjunction with my Bonsai. Into the Victorian era they used to collect Moss and show them off in special built walls with display doors.

You sir are no 'Rolling Stone' 😅

This is awesome. Thank you. I totally dig moss for many reasons, but beauty and the advantages it gives to life on earth are 2 of my main reasons. This is a great tutorial.❤

SUCH a helpful video: perfect amount of info for people trying to learn w/o a bunch of extra info or just extra babbling on, lol! Thank you!
