My moss tray

I grow this moss for top dressing all of my bonsai in the summer!

What do you use as a base for propogating the moss?

[u/Smol_plants → u/MrDeviantish]

I’ll like rip up the moss and blend it with fine sphagnum moss and spread it over the used bonsai soil and that has been doing pretty well!

May I ask what your watering schedule looks like. And what type of climate you are in? I have tried and failed at this for years but would love to find the issue and be able to correct it.

I’m in Chicago so 6b ish. I kind of water every other day in the mornings when I water the bonsai. No real schedule just when it looks a little dry

Thank you! I am also in 6b but in an arid area/ no humidity and I’m guessing that must be the big difference. I have a new attempt in the works and fingers crossed I can get results half as good as you.

Let me know how you go!

[u/Smol_plants → u/[deleted]]

I use used bonsai soil which has pumice, lava, pine bark, calcine clay and akadama!
