It’s great to hear you’ve had success with these! Can’t wait to try them out!

0WhosthatGiRL9 happy moss collecting. Thank you

[@arvinmacanas8717]

The most common moss here in the Philippines is the thread moss. Maybe I'll collect some and use them at my terrariums, plus it's free

[@robinguzman955]

Which actualy seen in some hollowblocks or walls

[@stacy8457]

That was incredibly helpful! I’ll be returning to this video to reference as I gather moss. Thank you!

Great video! That helps me a lot since I'm just starting out.

[@EH-im1po]

Very informative, I’m building mine this week and this is helpful as a starting point

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thanks and good luck with the build

[@leeabennett12]

Very well explained. When I make my next terrarium I will certainly pay more attention to the types of mosses I should use

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

pumpkin pro thank you

[@FeedersTVGr]

I am using Taiwan moss and Java moss in closed terrariums, they work good. We cannot collect moss in Europe, so they are good alternative. Nice video

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

FeedersTV yes aquatic moss works very well. I have used java and Christmas mass with great success

[@ChaosSebastian]

Eh i collect moss.. in Europe. No problem. In fact most of the moss in this video i have and can collect everywhere... even in cities.

[@njIV86]

Don't know how I missed your channel. Love the videos and going to try one terrarium again!

Can we grow dried lichen? After soaking in water?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

little garden it did not work for me. Lichens are pristine. I guess its not easy to grow them

[@littlegardenbygarima]

Even in closed terrarium?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

little garden i did not have any success at all with lichens in closed terrariums.

[@littlegardenbygarima]

Oh! Thanks for telling me 😄😄😄

[@christinethomas6433]

Hi, great video! I would love to start doing this. Are these mosses collected from a forest or somewhere in the city? I'm from Bangalore and I don't usually see so many types of mosses growing around here even in the monsoon. Similarly, are springtails also easily found?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Christine Thomas i have collected the moss from places like Ooty and Coorg.

Where we get moss in Bangalore

[@rakeshsinha6780]

For this video, you need to keep the camera right on top of the table. We could only see the moss from side and couldn’t’ really identify them well. Otherwise a very useful video. Thanks

[@ChaosSebastian]

Thank you, good informative video!

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Thank you

[@pericherlaramachandraraju9796]

Can I use moss for carpeting my aquarium? If yes which moss is better and grow dense with no patches that looks like totally carpeted? Will they grow on gravel with soil below the gravel? (1.5 inch gravel above 1 inch soil) Do I need to thread them to a mesh to carpet them?

[@pericherlaramachandraraju9796]

Fine gravel around 5mm

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Pericherla Rama Chandra Raju these are terrestrial mosses and cannot be used in aquascapes. There are aquatic mosses like java moss, Christmas moss, Taiwan moss which can be used in aquariums. But they are not ideal for carpeting. You could try carpeting plants like monte carlo and dwarf hair grass in your planted tanks.

[@Heatwb13]

Thanks for the great video! Do you recommend any good books for moss identification?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

B thanks. You could try gathering moss by Robin Wall Kimmerer. I havent read it yet but I have heard that it is a very informative book on the subject.

[@dipawalipatil2408]

Hi Where to Sphagnum moss and where to use these mentioned moss while doing Terranium?

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

You can get sphagnum moss from the hilly forests or even buy it online. For usage you can refer to some of my below videos kzbin.info/www/bejne/epPEopeQe65prs0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/inSqeWelaLKEn7c kzbin.info/www/bejne/o6DPfGmcg7idhLc

@@TheUrbanNemophilist I have seen this video and I have sphagnum moss. But what is the difference between these 2 moss like sphagnum and garden moss. Where to use which moss? Above mentioned video has no voice and no subtitles. So plz guide

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

@@dipawalipatil2408 you can also read the description of the video. There’s nothing called garden moss. You can use any type of live moss. Its based on your design and look that you are trying to achieve.

camera focus on hand or on moss? ofcourse on hand xD

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yeah still learning. Long way to go. Give me some tips to improve.

[@16laingocphuc69]

To be honest , I have just started to learn about moss fo a week , instead of taking care for various plants in terrariums, I believe that I only love to focus on mosses. I do not know where to start so would you mind to be asked a few questions ? Thanks so much .

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

Yes sure

[@16laingocphuc69]

@@TheUrbanNemophilist To begin with , are there any way to product mosses instead of using the raw one we found in nature ? Do the feature or colour of the same species change a lot in different temperature or light and humidity

[@TheUrbanNemophilist]

@@16laingocphuc69 you can buy propagated moss online or from local nurseries. Alternately you could collect in small quantities from nature and propagate them on your own. You will need some moss to start with. Some people use the moss and yogurt mix technique but I have never tried it. You are right. Moss features can change from region to region.
