How to grow moss at home

How to grow moss at home? Just do not ask why. And do not say that it grows well on the street. On the street - it is not in a pot on the windowsill.

First grow it in a large round aquarium with the proper entourage. Admire. Then we shall see why or to go nuts, give two!

Moreover, where it grows, let it be there. And at home, you still need to work hard to grow this. Strict items on the humidity and the amount of light will not allow a piece of moss from the forest to be stuffed into a jar and sit, wait for a beautiful picture.

So. Planting moss at home. Stop. How do we plant? No species has roots or seeds. What will multiply? Disputes, as in nature. And where to get them? Not with a microscope to wander in search.

In fact, everything is simple. Go for a walk. In the forest do not go. Forest moss that grows on trees is very aggressive and shaggy.Instead of the alpine idyll you will get the ruins of the county after the bombing. We need a moss that grows on stones, snags, old walls. Even just from the shaded side of the buildings.

We pinch a little bit. You can simply remove the plate. Who writes there: carefully, do not damage the roots? You would have a premium. Nobel. Still, for the first time in millions of years, we found roots in moss!

And we calmly stomp home. By the way, in nature, the time of maturation of the dispute is approximately July and August.

Herbal Cocktail

If you just put the plate of the plant on the bottom of the aquarium, it will wither. And you will not leave a beautiful landscape. Therefore, we will make a cocktail. No, not for drinking. For lubrication of surfaces. To make it you need only a blender. Here are some recipes:

• 100 g of moss, 2 tbsp. l sour cream, 200 ml of pure water.
• 200 g plants, 400 ml of any beer, 1 tbsp. l sugar sand.
• 1 tbsp. moss, 2 aspirin tablets, 2 tbsp. plain water.
• 200 g of a plant, 200 ml of kefir, 300 ml of water, 1 tsp. Sahara.

Take the ingredients from any recipe. Well, those that will be at hand. Together and fun we put in a bowl or jug. Then cheerfully beat with a blender. I warn you at once: the smells of cocktails with the use of dairy products are repulsive. Well, nothing.Beauty always requires ...

Apply the composition

Of course, even before preparing this beautiful slurry, we arranged pebbles inside the aquarium. They put an artificial castle, put the old snag on it. At the bottom of the sand added, a little fine gravel poured. Really lovely out? But something is missing.

How did the famous cartoon character say to everyone? Not enough to be. Not enough! Add aesthetics. By the way, to the stench from the jug already sniffed. Now we take the old brush. Thoroughly dunk it in a cocktail and begin to write. On the rocks, on the castle, on the snags. We smear from the heart, we do not regret. You can even splash a little.

What remains will carry to the backyard. There we choose the darkest and dankst corner. And right on the walls draw sludge. Everything that came to mind. Though your autograph. Good results are obtained when drawing through a stencil. Guests will puzzle for a long time how moss could grow like this. Naturally, to the last, keep them in the dark. Still, this is your exclusive!

Of course, then the moss will flood all the free space. But even just a fluffy soft wall attracts the eye. And do not be afraid to harm the buildings.Moss does not destroy the base, but only covers it like a carpet.

The eerie color mixture is over. But our business is not yet. We proceed to the next stage.

Care after seeding

Yes Yes. Our slurry smearing is called scientifically seeding dispute. And if there is a crop, then there must be a harvest! And what else is needed to get it? That's right - care.

In principle, at home, it consists in periodic moistening of the moss and dragging the aquarium in the sun, then back. Just two hours, early in the morning, but always every day. Otherwise, our pet will not have that desirable juicy green tint. All the rest of the time it can be kept shaded. But not quite in the back of the room. Better somewhere near the window, but with shelter.

About moistening. In the morning we got up - we looked at the glass. Is there condensation? So today you do not need to water. Is the glass completely dry? Stamping over the spray. By the way, the water in it is exclusively talaya. Or filtered. Otherwise an ugly white bloom will appear on the moss. We do not need it at all.

Why spray, and not lechika. Because moss drinks the surface of the body. He has no roots. Therefore, slightly sprinkle the plant.Carefully, without fanaticism. Overflow threatens darkening and death. There will be bald spots, mold. All beauty down the drain.

Of course, these procedures are carried out only after you see the result of your drawing with a liquid. This usually occurs in about 10 days. Up to this point it is better to just cover the aquarium with a piece of glass or thick film. In the sun during this period do not wear! But be sure to air once a day.

Then, after the microsystem adjusts its climate, you will only have to admire the mini-alpine lawn on your desk.

Interesting utility

1. Instead of an aquarium, you can take a wide bottle. And even with a cork. There is a case when a man planted moss in such a bottle, poured it. Closed the stopper and no longer opened. That was over 40 years ago. And the microsystem is still alive today. With its climate, humidity and, of course, moss. Try to repeat!
2. By the way, the pest and diseases that the moss would like to taste are still unknown to the scientific world. Is that mold fungi sometimes taste it. And even then, only after a strong waterlogging.
3. Do not keep your landing next to the central heating radiator. Too dry air is detrimental to moss.
4. The rougher the stones in your composition, the easier it will be for them to stick to the plant. Smooth pebbles will remain bald. By the way, they are beautifully replaced by broken shards from ceramic pots. Only without glazing.

How to grow moss at home? It is very easy and fun. Sometimes even fun. It does not require a lot of effort and material costs. Well, except for the purchase of an aquarium.
