Most the terrestrial mosses I've tried to convert have died, but they were all semi-aquatic, I looked in a mosses identification book to help me figure out if they could survive submerged. Good Luck.

Thanks Ryan -- my guess is it won't survive submersed. I'll just leave it emersed; I really like it

Deborah, you can leave it emersed but keep the moisture in. Ronnie had gotten good results leaving it in a plastic tank with a plastic wrap over the top. Misting the moss lightly every now and then will keep them happy.
Alternatively, if you really want to see whether they'll survive submerged, take a small sample of the mosses and leave it submerged. They'll be the guinea pigs for your experiment on whether they'll adapt to a submersed condition. In that way you need not have your whole clump die on you should the submerged experiment fail. :wink:

Deborah,
As far as I know, most mosses are terrestrial. Only a few are aquatic or semi-aquatic. But whatever it is, your moss looks nice.

Thank you Stormhawk and Loh KL. I will keep you all updated if it survives. It is in a little former-Betta hex container, so it is covered. I'll keep the water level so a little is under water and a the majority is above and see how that works.

It does not appear to like being submerged or even too wet Most has died but I drained the water and am letting it dry out. There are a few bits that are trying to survive again.
