sheets of moss that grow in an area of my property in the shade.Is this the result of ground sphagnum + collected moss or did you collect sheets of moss and apply to the surfaces? I only ask because I topdressed my trees roughly 4 weeks ago and am hoping to see some growth (at some point)? These look good and I assume water/air flow isn't impacted

interestingIt can take a loooong time for the sphagnum + collected mixture to “take.” Ryan has mentioned on Mirai that even in Oregon it takes months. In my climate, it takes about a year before I’m getting moss growth and expansion. It works though!
Absolutely - I have epic amounts of moss growing on our property. Here’s to hoping the topdressing takes.very satisfying taking a military style shovel and take a clean sheet of the moss off the ground btw
I watch the process in Mirai Live but must have missed the timeline portion. Here’s to hoping it takes a some point.It can take a loooong time for the sphagnum + collected mixture to “take.” Ryan has mentioned on Mirai that even in Oregon it takes months.
I was under the impression using ground sphagnum + ground collected moss to the size of your substrate provides a moisture retentive barrier and over time allows the moss to naturally occur.There are so many great mosses one can use, sphagnum is not one of them, IMO.
Newbie question alert! When you have the moss on top do you water by submerging the plant in water, or do you water on top of the moss?thicc - ill clean this up eventually, it was a rush because of a solid 20
mph wind the day after i worked on them
the moss will help regulate the small pots drying out im hoping, should be good for summer heat as well
and watering needs
Moss on top normally shouldn't/won't impede watering from above. Unless you've left it on for a long time and really let it develop a thick mat.Newbie question alert! When you have the moss on top do you water by submerging the plant in water, or do you water on top of the moss?
The submerged watering method is not all that great of a practice. Skip it.Newbie question alert! When you have the moss on top do you water by submerging the plant in water, or do you water on top of the moss?
