Nice

[@Aquaworld714]

Thanks

[@alejandrotoledo9975]

Is that all the water that moss needs? It grows emersed?

[@Aquaworld714]

Yes the moss will grow emersed. The humidity dome will move the water around to hydrate the moss. Using distilled water is important as the impurities in tap water will hinder growth.I would recommend the setup in the description. I grow moss for sale and in bulk this way.
