Jerry Copeland Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 (edited) The old handbook on growing mosses is interesting but my own experiences in growing mosses http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s184/jwcimage/Mosses/ has led me to use a 50% blend of milled peat moss and freshwater sand or a combo of 2 parts sand to 1 part peat moss (by volume) for growing mosses and liverworts. And NOT GROW THEM WITH THEIR POTS SITTING IN WATER! This may be fine for Sphagnum and a few aquatic mosses but not for terrestrial or epiphytic mosses. In fact for epiphytic mosses that grow on trees I just sit the moss into a ZipLoc bowl with NO SOIL of any kind. Grows great. One new way of growing mosses that really does work and it allows for growing mosses that prefer alkaline soils is the use of artificial felt that has been introduced to me by Rick Smith. Read about it at this link: http://www.newmossgardening.com/ I have confirmed that it is successful for growing Bryum http://i152.photobucket.com/albums/s184/jw...sses/afcob2.jpg and works in rescuing bits and pieces of mosses.
