Growing moss emersed

[dennster]

Is it possible to grow moss emersed & what are the types of moss recommended? I am thinking of growing them on a dripping rock wall.

Thanks for the advise.

From what I read, it seems that almost all mosses can be grown emerged. Do you have any experience growing fissiden in a water featured wall that is similar to the attached picture, relying on indirect sunlight in ambient temperature & humility?

Unfortunately I only managed to grow fissiden fontanus by accident when I was trying out dsm. To my knowledge, fissiden is a form of moss so it should be the same as moss for it to thrive.

Based on the picture, there are crevices in the wall, if there is a water drip system, I think that the crevices might be ideal for moss... And algae.

With uneven wall features comes the challenge of evening out the water distribution, so probably a point for you to note. Some wall features make use of misting systems to keep it cool and moist.

Looks to me like you have a great project in the making!
