This moss is perfect for terrariums and vivariums because I never use any pesticides that will harm your frogs lizards etc.
Photos show you the many sizes I have growing in my yard.I harvest this daily on my 12 acres up in the Ozark Mountains.
Once the moss is placed onto the soil, the sections of moss plants must be pressed firmly (do not flatten mounds) into position and watered regularly for the first 2-3 weeks.
Never let moss sit in water as this will kill it. You can tell your pillow moss is thirsty by the change in color. When it is dry...it turns a light shade of green.
Pillow/Cushion Moss Facts
1.Moss has no root system it anchors itself to the ground using rhizoids.
2.Moss has no vascular tissue for sending nutrients and water throughout the plant.
3.Moss gets its nourishment from the air, photosynthesis, and water.
4.Under stressful conditions moss & lichens are able to temporarily stop growing and go dormant.
5.Moss reproduces by means of spores which are very dependent on an ample supply of moisture. As moss does not take up moisture through a root system, it is much happier receiving moisture through misting or rainwater instead of a drenching.
