- Growing mosses at home Vegetative reproduction of mosses at home is quite possible, although it sounds strange and unrealistic, only because not many people imagine how this is possible. There is a stereotype in our head that mosses should grow in swamps or in a forest, but not at home, but I am sure that after this video you will change your ideas about mosses and you will understand that there is nothing complicated about it. Not a drop is more difficult than growing an orchids or bromeliad on a windowsill, because they, like mosses, belong to epiphytes, that is, this means that mosses, for example, attaching to a tree use the tree only as a support and are not parasites and do not suck nutrients from the tree and do not harm it, but receive food from decomposed organic matter stuck in the bark of a tree and photosynthesis The mosses have root-like formations of rhizoids which mosses hold on to supports and which have a suction capacity. They use rhizoids, root like structures to attach themselves to the surface and absorb water and nutrients, but not through rhizoids, but through the capillaries game system, that hair like rhizoids form. Rhizoids are capable of forming from any cell of moss and are responsible for vegetative reproduction of mosses. From the rhizoids, a protonema is formed, and from the protonema, leafy gametophytes or new mosses grow. In short, mosses are able to grow quickly and easily vegetatively. This property explains the invasiveness of some mosses. They are even capable of crowding out your green lawn or filling up a stone path.#moss #mossgarden #sphagnummoss #terrarium #mosswall

you are so knowledgeable! i purchased an orchid earlier today, and i am now in a rabbit hole, binge-watching your videos to help them thrive! im so excited to start with my plant babies. thank you for creating a platform to help educate so many of us willing to learn!!! you and your intellect are appreciated.
I'm mildly obsessed with moss recently. I grow a ton of other species of plants in the philo/orchid/anyhurium/Hoya families, and a ton of air plants but something about moss, ferns and the forest floor are so comforting to me! I'm bringing it inside 🥰
Until yesterday I'd never even heard of an orchid until 3 cymbidium floribundums arrived at my door. And thanks to you they got cleaned up nice, but now that I've seen your potting mix for orchids and this moss video I think Im gonna need to change their substrate to include more organic matter, airflow, and living moss to decompose that OM. What a cool little sidequest, I guess that makes you Gandalf to our Bilbo 😂👋💕
Wow, I always thought that we need special methods to propagate moss, but turn out it's not that complicated
Thanks for the video :)
Enjoyed this video. Factual, concise and straight to the point.
Can listen to you all day. Thank you very much
This is the best site for Orchids. I thank you so much. I would love to grow moss for my new aquarium.
Just be careful when picking moss: only take a little from each place so that you don't get the biological balance in that place out of order. It takes a long time to grow back and moss has its place in the bio balance.
Well said!
yes you are right - I had also read that it takes a long time to grow back but it did not - some might - some might not.
I'm considering getting some orchids so I'm researching up on it. you seem to have good information, and I've got to say, the wilderness clips you showed here are beautiful!
Thank you for sharing the way you do🙏🏻
Please, please PLEASE reconsider on using peat. Peat bogs and heathlands are rare environments, and important carbon sinks. They're being depleted at an alarming rate by the compost industry. From someone who grew up in the heather moors of Northern England, please consider peat-free options
I just read that coco coir is a good substitute☺️
Absolutely do not use peat! Nurseries are now banning the use of peat worldwide, use sphagnum instead or just moss collected around moist,shady spots. Peat is too precious in the environment.
Seems off topic on a video regarding _propagation techniques._
I know this an old comment, but what you recommend in place of peat moss?
I eat peat for breakfast 👹
Thank you for the clear, concise and interesting video. Great and useful info without all the endless chatter others seem to think we want to hear.
I'm in Southern Cali it's so dry out here I don't recall seeing any since I moved from the Hudson Valley where there is moss and moisture everywhere
Well holy crap I thought I was the only one that takes moss from the forest lol new sub here, great video!
this is fantastic Thank you so much for explaining about moss. I am trying to save my orchid which I naively treated poorly by putting them in pots so re of course not doing well 😞 So will start with growing some at home mosses and "replanting" what is left of my two orchids. so excited to get started.. first . a walk in the forest 🚶♀🌳
We have a few amazing spots where moss grew by itself, a pile of sand on a table and a vacuum cleaner bag, both completely covered in a heavy coat of moss, two different types. Last year I harvested the vacuum cleaner moss so start new propagation experiments, some succeeded to varying degrees, it's starting back up, it's been a dry year, and I just started misting all the moss to bring it back up. I'm trying to use the moss as a covering for strawberry plants from seed, balancing moisture in the soil for resilience in the hot summer for the seedlings~
Love your videos and how you narrate and share your knowledge.
Thank you very much!
That was a realy good tutorial 👍👍
Excellent video .thanks
Paula from Mexico. Wow wish you was here to help & show me. I bought New Zealand spagdom moss, a lot of it. I know I am to keep it wet but not too much. Help!!!!! I guess I need to watch again & again. I need specific for my moss only.
Thank you so much, it all makes sense now 👏👏👏
Hi, love your vids and knowledge. Please can you help with detail on the layers for the spagnum moss. What was below the bark and pine cones?
That's cool. I think I've got to go to my garden and look for moss.
I accidentally grew some moss. I had some old dried moss from some flowers and I wet it and put it in an old paper coffee cup with a couple of orchid sticks on it to grow some orchids (had a tiny bit of vanilla coffe in the cracks I didn't wash it haha). I covered it in a black tshirt and pulled it out 2 weeks later and the moss was vibrantly alive and had become beautiful green! I was so surprised because I had remembered you said "grow your own moss" in a few other vids I had watched of yours. I even washed some and made a little moss ball tying it with a little piece of thread for my betta's fish tank and he's litterally sleeping next to it right now he loves it hahaha Even the little moss sticks started to grow in it. hahahaha Ok now I'm gonna watch this vid to see if I did it right.
Nice video. Thanks
Thank you, this was very smart!
thank you for making this video. its greaaatt
What other methods can you use to clean the moss?
Wow I thought this would be easy, it sounds very complicated.
Hello, Your moss tour was great so, I was wondering can Spanish moss also be used as an orchid medium? TY for all your videos U ROCK, Carl
I had some sphagnum moss that I bought from the store start to turn green. Should I have saved it?
Wonderful
Thanks!!
First of all I want to express my gratitude for your well made videos that are invaluable to me! Second: can you recommend a replacement for potassium permanganate as it is quite difficult to obtain where I am from?
You are technical I find hard to follow but I learnt a lot! Thank you.
She is reading it from a book or online.
You should make the bedding and sell it for people in dry lands like myself I woukd buy some since I can't gather it... I am gonna have to ask a friend back east to gather rotting bits and moisture and pine cones
Interesting 🤞👍✅
Is the potassium permanganate necessary? if so, what is it for?
Hello classy F. I read you said bck.yard , othet place's moss can be used I collect outside yes?Also the rain h20 I keep on hand will surfice if I don't have that purple blus mix.u used? Last just pcked.up orchid het roots still good not in bloom.yet she sits i. Spagnium in her catche pot.what do I need to do with her now?.She's stays hidrated and humid conditions.Would like to try your moss repeat on other old asking to buy me @ store orchids?.Any tips will be appreciated.😊✌🌹🌹🌹
What was it you added to the water to clean the moss? And where can I get that? Flower stores? Do they sell that to customers?
We can't get live sphagnum moss in South Africa. Is there anything else we could use?
Thanks for the help! Here's to hoping my moss lives! 🤞
I’ve watched a couple of your videos and I am immediately a fan. Where can I learn as much as you about plants? Did you go to school, work at a nursery or are you self taught?
I am a florist and a self taught gardener with a degree in biology. Read more old gardening books and learn from others especially from farmers.
what did you use to clean your moss with?
I have a lot of miss in my garden can I use this?
She is a substrate wizard
Where is this place it’s beautiful
What is that purple dye you used to clean your moss?
Is it possible to grow sea moss inside?
how do you identify mosses you collect?
What would be your recommendations or views on the standing water in the case being an insect breeding ground? Is it something we might just live with? Am I doing something wrong?
Isopods and Hexapods like springtails are even beneficial for moss, because they are feeding on decomposed organic materials, other microbiota like protozoa, rotifers or nematodes are also supposed to be there. Against overgrowth of rotting bacteria and unpleasant smell use mild solution of potassium permanganate, just ones is enough, then balanced micro bio system will work on its own.
Will give it a try….my dancing ladies have encircled our Red Maple tree in hanging baskets.
You can even propagate ride moss eg, Sphagnum Moss you purchase in blocks.
Hi really enjoy you channel thank you for sharing🤗 I have a question can you grow Sphagnum Moss from the one you buy from the store to use in your pot for growing your Orchids🤔🤗
can I tree leaf for moss? please...
I want to grow moss now
Do you put the pine cones in the oven to disinfect ? Lolol sorry if stupid question
Please remember there are 8 BILLION people on Earth. Please be respectful & caring of our environment. Thank you!
wow again!!!!
I haven't been successful in finding any moss in nature in the south of Italy. Perhaps the climate is too hot or I'm looking in the wrong places so I've opted to buy it online. Can you please clarify whether desiccated sphagnum moss works just as well for orchids or must it be alive and fresh? Thanks in advance.
Moss is a hardy plant, it has been found in habitats ranging from the humid tropics to the polar regions, fallen logs to lakes, rivers, and streams. In fact, moss has been found just about everywhere, except in salt water.
Love your question! LOL. I live in the SW desert of Arizona. Talk about a road trip to find moss! LOL. Missing Louisiana.
... Can u list the ingredients for the video with the information in description...
What is the second component for subtract something like 'pmoss', additionally to garden soil and rotten pines?
Peat moss
Where are moss grown, lots of sun, some sun? Live in Canada, as I will have to calculate on the map. What kind of moss in Canada.
Can't we just pick up moss from outside and use it?
Thank You Very Much!
Do you have a source to buy moss? Are you willing to make a simpler, tutorial style video?
Thank you. This was intriguing.
I live in the metro city, so finding natural mosses is hard. Do you have a recommendation on where i can purchase a starter moss?
You can find live spagnum Moss in your local garden center 😉
Josh's frogs has some nice moss kits
Once you have placed the moss in the plastic fruit containers-and it seems that you placed a lot of moss in the container, how much more moss will grow and is there enough space in that plastic container? What do you then do with the wet moss since you did not place it in a glass container to start with. Or do you just leave it on the windowsill in the plastic fruit container in a grey plastic bucket??
It depends. Sphagnum can grow up to 15 cm. I can grow moss in any container as long there is enough sun light pass through. Clear vases always the best.
@@Classyflowers thank you
What is the purple do you using to put it in water???
Potassium permanganate
About the charcoal - could you use the charcoal people get for out door barbecues? Also, "Disenfect the rotted wood in the oven for 30 minus" - You didn't say what temperature. Thanks in advance. :-)
160 Fahrenheit
What was the purple additive used in the rinsing water at the start?
Potassium permanganate
I haven’t heard of that. Is it a commercial product or homemade?
Try Ebay, Amazon or aquarium stores
In UK one can buy it in chemist/pharmacy.
Is there a video of growing the moss? This seems like a video of collecting moss.
You need moss to grow more moss. This is how it works.
Right lol. I’ll just buy it 😂
This is great for a biology class honestly. You’re very thorough.
I bought mixed live moss from Ebay. I never really knew how to use it until this video.
"You step on them in the wild and they do not DIE" lol
lol that squeek at 1:17
Hello question I need to know where I can buy malls oh where do I find it thank you
You can find moss in the park, backyard or forest
which types of moss are better with phalaenopsis orchid?
is it recommend to use "Spagmoss"?
Sphagnum moss is the best, hypnum moss will work as well.
@@Classyflowers thank u!
do you think using carcoal would be good as well? (or maybe just one of the mixes of "repotme"?)
And would it be okay to use a transparent glass for a vassel?
You should add that it’s not allowed to take mosses from nature, in some countries, like Sweden 🇸🇪 .
People are not allowed to take anything from state parks in the US either. Not even allowed to take a rock. People do it anyway.
@@resarm5007 I’m not talking about parks, this law prohibits anyone from taking any living being from nature, both flora and fauna, both animals and plants. Anywhere in nature, the ENTIRE country. And we have a law that gives everyone permission to stroll, walk, hike and camp (one night) anywhere in the country, this includes state owned land/water and privately owned land/water. This law is called ”Allemansrätten” in Sweden 🇸🇪. We have a beautiful country and this law makes everyone able to enjoy and cherish it freely.
I read living moss can choke out roots of some plants (i grow aroids)... Is this true ?
i do not disinfect any material i gather i always want to see what happens.
Charcoal and coal are not the same. Charcoal, as in the type used for barbecue, is treated with chemicals. How is that good for moss?
Common charcoal is made from peat, coal, wood, coconut shell, or petroleum.
Activated charcoal is similar to common charcoal but is manufactured especially for medical use. To produce activated charcoal, common charcoal is heated to about 900 °C (1,700 °F) in the presence of a gas (usually steam), causing the charcoal to develop many internal spaces, or "pores", which help the activated charcoal to trap chemicals. Impurities on the surface of the charcoal are also removed during this process, greatly increasing its adsorption capacity.
Near the start that really looked like a sarracenia flower head.
We're actually working on making our entire backyard a grass free mossy paradise
I would like that too, but I don’t know how to get rid of the grass. Did you dig it out?
💐♥️💐
Hi can I use my backyard mosses
Sure you can
OMG you found a sarracenia purpurea in situ and didn't even talk about it
I would love to focus on the information, but the 'uptalk' is d r i v i n g me up the wall. I never know if you are making a statement or asking a question.
Hard to understand --too many terminologies
Should you really be collecting moss in the wild? We humans are depleting our natural resources day by day.
You should start with timber logging companies first
@@Classyflowers You guys are all adding to the demise. We should respect our planet and, believe me, if I had the ability, I would greatly limit what loggers do. It's horrible, I agree.
... after you done with logging companies go after mining companies and marine fisheries. I only take what I need and follow all local laws and regulations.
@@Classyflowers Don't get angry. I just am concerned about our planet. I am glad you follow the local rules. Wish everyone did. Maybe next time mention at the start of your video that local laws should be followed. Some people don't watch til the very end. Thank you, Classy Flowers! Happy New Year.
Happy New Year!
Well shit.
Have you ever treated your wound with Moss?
I would not recommend it...
💤💤she lost me 15 minutes ago
Are you kidding me. The video is 9:20 minutes only.
100% humidity is rain. so they like water?
Where do you live omg
