Moss help Please!
Hi all, just wondering if the moss that you find in your garden on rocks and in between slabs is okay for a vivarium/terrarium, if so what would be the best way to help it grow.Thanks.

It will probably die as it needs a dormant period over winter. You can certainly try though but it needs to be cleaned, a 10% bleach solution.

It'll peg it quite quickly in a warm terrarium, I'm afraid. Some of the online companies (Dartfrog?) can supply tropical mosses, or, in a wet terrarium, Java moss can do quite well- it does very well in my FBT viv. I'm told that the 'powdered' moss sold by bonzai companies can work- you mix it with water into a paste and paint it on where you want the moss to grow- but I've never used it.

It ain't a tropical viv just room temp, will this still be too warm?

Sorry, probably eventually yes- but if you've got a regular supply you could just replace it when it starts to go brown. Whats in the viv?

Not overly sure yet just doing some research but probably fire bellied toads or pygmy chams
