Thank you for sharing with us. Your tips were very helpful. I recentley collected some moss and it started to dry up, so i will definitely follow your steps to keep my moss nice and green.😊😊😊
Hey the plant that you mentioned in your video of identification of native plants and weeds at time stamp 4:00 is evolvulus nummularius and I use it as ground cover at the edges of my pond along with desmodium trifolium. These have a very beautiful flowers.
I have only ever been able to collect small chunks of moss at a time, unlike the large sheet in this video, and so the only thing ive ever needed to wash off my moss has been the mud from underneath that comes up with the moss (as most moss i collect is growing on mud). Im not even entirely sure if jts necessary to wash such small amounts of mud off, is it? I end up breaking the moss apart even further when trying to wash it off, then it just looks like algae or seaweeed 😢
I have always read that moss doesn't need fertilizer, as it extracts the nutrients it needs from the air. Double-check me, though. A lot of places that sell supplies for terrarium and vivarium supplies will advertise 'special' fertilizer for sale that is supposedly good for moss, but i think it might just be a way for them to make money. Most sources I've read say no fertilizer is needed for moss. That kind of makes sense to me, as moss will grow on rocks not just soil. Also grows on decomposing trees (wood), so you could probably find a piece of tree bark to put the moss on in the terrarium, although I'm not sure how you would clean that to eliminate pests and bacteria.
I have kept moss in zip bags for one to two weeks without any issues. Havent tried freezer. Should work for similar time periods i guess. You could try it out and let me know. Thanks.
Can you either do a video, or talk about, what to do about pieces of moss that have would more or less embedded in the underside of it? Do you leave it? Remove some of it? All of it, leave it all?
@@TheUrbanNemophilist no worries. So, some moss that I collect, maybe taken from a piece of rotting wood. And when I collect them, the wood on the bottom is more or less, in my own words, infused with the moss. And if I were to try to remove all of this wood, it starts to tear away at the moss itself. I apologize for my lack of clarity, thank you.
Hey! I just collected icelandic grey moss and the issue is that it's full of spiders and maybe even ticks. I'm not sure how to remove them since washing doesn't help
Can you use ash instead of charcoal? I don't live in an area that is okay to make charcoal and I don't have the budget to buy it. Thank you for all of your amazing information, time, and dedication !
❤Brother, I really appreciate your good projects ❤

For how many days can we preserve moss in zip bags and where and how to store.for how long it can be stored in freezer

Sorry but I am not very clear on your query. Could you explain again.

One of the cons of collecting moss from the wild. I suggest you procure farm grown moss for your projects.
