6 DIFFERENT NAMED GREENHOUSE GROWN TERRARIUM MOSSES LOT C "GRAB BAG"

Description

Although there are thousands of moss species, only a few are suitable for terrarium culture.
My collection of terrarium mosses numbers around 75 species.
From this, I have put together a great group of 6 named species that will provide you with a wide range of sizes and textures for your terrarium
.
These are plants grown in deli cups in my greenhouse and are not ripped out of the wild yesterday.
Some of my original seed stock has come from the wild all over the world but I try to propagate everything I sell.
This gives you mosses well established and accustomed to growing in terrarium conditions, while minimizing insect hitchhikers (I do have isopods get into some of my cups. No pesticides, so no promises)
There are a couple that are sustainable harvested and then long term conditioned in the greenhouse to get established.
It is the only practical way to offer these few.
The first 2 pictures of are representative mosses of the species I offer but maybe not be the actual ones you will receive.
The third picture is of some of these mosses a few months after they have been liberated from their cups and been in a large terrarium.
The forth picture is of just a few of my stock waiting to be sold.
Feel free to inquire about wholesale quantities.
OK IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR, YOU HAVE SEEN MY LOTS A AND B.
THEY HAVE 6 NAMED SPECIES LISTED IN THE AUCTION. THIS IS LOT C, SPECIES INCLUDED WILL VARY DEPENDING ON WHAT I HAVE AVAILABLE (BUT NONE THAT ARE LISTED IN LOTS A AND B).
I HAVE MANY GREAT SPECIES THAT I HAVE TOO FEW READY TO GO TO LIST THEM IN NAMED LOTS.
SO IF YOU STILL WANT MORE DIFFERENT SPECIES, THIS IS FOR YOU.
IF YOU ORDER MULTIPLE OF “LOT C” I WILL TRY TO SEND ALL DIFFERENT BUT DO NOT ORDER TOO MANY LOT C’S WITHOUT CHECKING WITH ME FIRST TO SEE HOW MANY DIFFERENT I CAN SEND.
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO CONSIDER WHEN GROWING TERRARIUM MOSSES IS THAT NONE LIKE WARM TEMPERATURES.
TRY TO KEEP YOUR TERRARIUM AT ROOM TEMPERATURE (70’s) OR LESS.
TEMPERATURE IN THE HIGH 80 AND ABOVE WILL KILL MOST MOSSES.
If your tank has reptiles, keep the “French fry heat lamps” off the mosses!
Other than that, all these species will thrive in the high humidity and moderate light found in a typical terrarium.
My greenhouses do not get sprayed with pesticides, fungicides, growth promotants or regulators, or any other nasty chemicals.
I will send you labeled plants in the deli cups they have been growing in.
I place a small pad of dead long fiber sphagnum moss as a substrate under each one.
You can remove this if you like, or not, when you plant as mosses do not have roots and are only sitting on top of it.
Some mosses will fill the container and some may be very small.
I use the same cups for all my mosses even though some are very small or very slow growers, so do not feel cheated when you receive these!
Mosses do not have roots so even though they are long term residents of the cups; they are not “root-bound” like a vascular plant would be and can be lifted right off the sphagnum pad when you remove them
.
I like to leave the sphagnum in place under the live mosses when transferred to a terrarium as they like the acid and sterile chemistry provided by the sphagnum.
Depending on where you live and any appropriate moss micro-habitats in your garden, most of these mosses may do very well for you outside in your garden too.
