    It felt so good to finally get outside again and bring you some more candid content! 100% voice overs was never intended to be the norm, but that's what happened when I moved because of noise pollution. Do you like a more candid video like this or the voice overs? Definitely will always do both styles, but I'm just curious what you think. Let me know!

    • @antonstroms407
      @antonstroms407 5 ปีที่แล้ว +32

      I do think the candid videos feel more like we're right with you, but the voice overs are effective in their own right. Both allow us to follow along with what you're saying- it's just the slightest bit more fun when it feels like we're getting horticultural lessons in person during the candid videos.

      @SerpaDesign  5 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      I appreciate the feedback! I think I want to do more like this and then reserve the voice overs for videos that really need it. Some topics are just very involved and I think conveyed best as a voice.

      I think voice overs should only be used if environmental sounds are so disruptive, the viewing not enjoyable or the message isn't discernible. And of course, if the narration is totally botched and filled with errors. For some reason, TH-cam viewers have gotten crazy with the quality of video demands over the past few years, treating regular folks as if they should have content resembling that of a major production studio. A dog barking in the background, a passing vehicle, make the event more real. Hearing you spread ballast in a tank or having pumps hum is how it really is.

    Over the past 2(ish) years I have passed by either walking OR in a car, and suddenly felt a fascination about Mosses. How they ARE everywhere and yet so OVERLOOKED. Only recently I did something about this curiosity, I bought TWO books about Moss(es) and am now independently studying them in depth. Might cultivate some on my allotment plot. OR the bottom of my garden :) This video is EXCELLENT for me, as it shows I am not ODD (some laughed at me when I revealed my interest). SO thankyou and keep up the cracking work!!!!

      i find woodland plants hard to keep alive grown in pots. i tried with the native violets growing around my house, they were gone immediately. but i do have success if they stay outside in the shade. i guess cool temps and circulating breezes are very important. mosses however have simple requirements as long as they are kept in a closed terrarium. i love the lichens growing on tree branches. they seem to need high light and can dry out and go dormant, waiting for the next rain.

I put it in a terrarium with some (purchased) springtails and a few Silver Maple branches (wind fallen) that were covered in their own moss and some lichen! I also found Thread Moss, and Sheet Moss and a small bit of what looks like it could be Fern Moss.

  • @jcseiji
    @jcseiji 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Enjoyed the video! Love mosses. All the mosses you show can be grown outside in pots under the right conditions the most important of which is water quality: distilled or reverse osmosis. If given the percentage of humidity, by daily spraying, most will handle 4 hours of direct sunlight. Do recommend shallow containers for the low growers and regular pots for the taller species such as the Hair Cap. While common names may not be exacting to species here is a list of what was shown, please note that other species within the genera shown may also be described under the common or vernacular name:
    Badge Moss: Plagiomnium insigne
    Fern Moss: Thuidium delicatulum
    Haircap Moss: Polytrichum commune
    Hypnum Moss: Hypnum cupressiforme
    Sphagnum Moss: Sphagnum (many species)
    Star Moss: Tortula ruralis
    Thread Moss: Bryum argenteum
    Liverwort: Marchantia polymorpha
    Special note on Sphagnum: can be grown in a cup of distilled water with the water level up to about 3/4 of the cup's depth in full sun. Water quality is essential: distilled only.
    Marchantia should be best grown to itself as it can overtake other bryophytes if it is happy with its culture.
    For city folk you may be able to find mosses growing in planters that are regularly watered, such as at a fast food restaurant or at plant nurseries. Happy hunting.

When collecting moss it helps to really look at what they are growing out of and moisture...I think you mentioned that.... Keep up the great videos.

    Thank you for doing all of your moss designs and providing this tutorial, it's created a new interest for me in moss in general. I've begun scouting around my local forested areas, identifying all the different types we have here, and really enjoying their low maintenance beauty. I also found out I have a ton of hypnum moss around my house, it seems to enjoy the spots where there is plenty of rain runoff, but doesn't stagnate necessarily, and also enjoys lots of light.

    I collect outdoor moss, clean it real well to remove all soil and use it in my shrimp tanks and fish tanks. I collected all summer and laid it under my porch to have a moss carpet. It turned out quite well. I got most of mine in the woods, tree and rock. Lush ad full. @2:40 that's mainly what I use. The bog moss is great for my aquariums, produces alot of oxygen. Liked, subbed and hit the moss bell.

However, my viewing reasons have now changed and I'm about to embark on creating my own Vivarium with some enclosed Terrariums in mind as well too...so binge watching has been a thing as of late.

I'm a hunter, so, I'm in the woods alot, and have ample opportunity to check out different environments. I'm going to start a paludarium soon, along with some vivariums for dart frogs, and this, along with your other videos, has given me some knowledge of different things I can get for free, and use. Keep up the great work, I enjoy watching your channel, and I thank you for giving me more of an appreciation for moss.

    Hey, real quick question about keeping terrariums. Recently (about a month ago) I created a small terrarium using an old mason jar and some plastic wrap for the lid. I watched several of your videos beforehand and did some of my own research in order to make my terrarium as good as possible. It has since been doing quite nicely, although I have now noticed that algae has started to grow within the false bottom/aquifer. I haven’t been able to find any information online on how exactly this may impact my terrarium and have not seen the topic mentioned in any of your videos. If you, or any other commenter, could shed some light on what I should do (if anything) then that would be much appreciated.
    P.S. I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
