Moss on rock experiment

Post by Andrew F »

Hello,

In light of this informative thread: viewtopic.php?f=30&t=9346

I thought i'd try to bond moss to a rock via this method.

I then misted it with water and placed it into a plastic container and pop it in a shady spot.

I'll also be cycling it in different spots, shade, sun light, warmth, cool areas ect ect to find the best method of cultivating moss.

Cheers
