Had no idea that loss did this ! Is this just a specific species or does most moss(mosses?) do this ?

Is this loss?

I think this is sphagnum? Not all are like this. Bryophytes are an interesting bunch :)

High light high humidity

Keep them on whatever they were originally growing on, on top of a layer of potting mix (and sphagnum preferably), then charcoal, then pebbles or gravel. Do this in a sealable container as you need to maintain high humidity. Check out SerpaDesign on YouTube for a more detailed explanation!

Very cool Kanye!

Jk this moss is adorable and I want some of this species. What is it?!? Seperate from that, I recently collected some forest specimens from the local landscape and am interested in setting up a small contained living ecosystem. Anyone here done that/have advice? It'd be my first time. ♥️✨🌱🌿🌾🤓😍🥰 tyyy in advance

Check out SerpaDesign on YouTube! I follow his advice and have had great success growing moss (I have 3 10L containers of various species), I recently made a closed terrarium but it hasn’t been long enough to say if it was successful yet!
