First, why wold you want to grow moss on your orchid medium? Moss grows from spores and likes an acid environment.
I have gotten moss to grow on the outside of unglazed clay pots. I take a fist-sized clump of healthy moss and crumble it into a blender. Add 2 cups (270 ml) each of water and buttermilk. I then paint it onto the pot. I assume the same could be done on orchid medium.
Yeah, me too!I go down to the creek in the woods by my house and get live sphagnum
Same here.I do nothing. Moss and ferns just appear on my media. The moss is nice, but the ferns are a pain...
Is Irish Moss a true moss? It seems to grow on just about anything, tolerates sun and doesn't need excessive humidity. Is there any reason not to use it?
I think there are several plants called Irish Moss. The one commonly sold as a ground cover with little white flowers is not a true moss.
Moss should grow voluntarily.
Keep humidity high and the media surface moist and moss will grow, and grow, and grow, and grow some more.
Only if you have some moss in the mix to begin with and still it take a lot of moisture!!
Ok. But is there any reason not to use it?
