Moss Information
Moss - An Amazing
Plant…  Since
they obtain all their nutrients from the air (moss has
no true roots), moss plants require nothing more than shade,
acidic soil, and adequate moisture to flourish. All moss
plants need is a firm soil bed in a location with adequate
shade. It is also imperative that the area in which moss
plants will be grown is blown or swept clear of any existing
plants, leaves or debris. Moss also seems to prefer poor
quality soils with low nutrient levels.
Before utilizing moss as part of your
shade gardening plans, the soil bed for the moss plants should
first be tested to ensure that the pH is between 5.0 and
6.0 (lower is o.k. - 6.5 is max., but not ideal). If necessary, the soil for the moss can easily be amended with our wettable sulfur to lower the pH to the desired range. Once the moss is placed onto the soil, the sections
of moss plants must be tamped firmly into position and watered
regularly for the first 2-3 weeks. Detailed, yet simplistic
transplanting directions are included with each moss order.
