hi, i was curious as to whether or not you have grown thread moss? ive had some difficulty with it despite following serpa and others guides. when in a vivarium, it gets eaten by the isopods fairly quickly any time it has any notable growth. when ive grown it in a moss-only terrarrium, i can keep it alive for a month or so before it dies back. sometimes it dies for good, sometimes it will bounce back, but i cannot for the life of me get enough growth our of it to harvest it. i will try adding some ventilation and daily mistings rather than enclosed with periodic mistings during maintenance. thanks for the video

While I have not personally tried air filteration using moss, I do have some information that could prove usefull, I would start with the larger varieties like sphagnum, or haircap, I would go for a mix of haircap, pincushion (it withstands dryer conditions), if air circulation is going to be constant a fogger or misting system would be advised to regulate the humidity, aim for 70 to 80 % that way by time it gets through the ducts, it should be around 65%, this is super interesting and I would love to know how it turns out 😁

sadly the houseplant and terrarium hobby pays alot for illegally and unscrupulously harvested moss. We should all grow our own, never pay for it as it funds the moss harvesting industry, which is pretty much always wild harvested in extremely large quantities, sadly it is done at every level from people looking to make a quick buck to people supplying wholesalers

i am turning my grass lawn into a moss lawn. There is a mini forest 2 minutes from our house where i gather lots of moss. so far i am just scratching the soil, esp the bare patches then put some moss on top, step on it a bit and water it down. it's raining a lot here in the uk. so i am hoping the moss embeds itself in. it is so exciting

@9catlover 2 ай бұрын

It is very exciting. i was scrolling thru videos about moss and saw I was commenting about turning a grass lawn into a moss lawn last year, but this year I finally decided to act. The front garden patch...half of it has naturally become moss...so i am trying to manually turn the other patch. It is takes in a few months, i will try to dig up patches in the back garden (which we turned into a veg garden). My parents are retired and in their 80s so a grass lawn is just too much effort. And it uses more water. so i think a moss lawn is more sustainable and it filters toxic particles in the air i believe. it's just an amazing pre-historic super plant@@The-Microverse

Nonvascular means they lack a vascular system of tubes to move fluid and nutrients around the plant. Though they also have no true roots or leaves, these two things are unrelated. And arthropods a very general term which includes aquatic animals such as crabs. I think you meant to say isopods, which is what you were showing, which also have aquatic varieties. If you’re going to make informative videos, be sure to give the correct information. Most people will just believe you and the wrongness! I’m blocking your channel.
