I found some moss in HDB area that look like Taiwan Moss. I think somebody mentioned that there is such a thing a Singapore moss. Maybe they are the same.
I tried it submerged in my tank for about 2 weeks already and its not doing too bad. Considering that even Taiwan Moss can survive in my tank and Java moss don't do too well either, you guys can give it a try.
This moss is found abundant in HDB lawn. You can find them usually under moist and shady area.

Tried before. Usually abundant in moist soil area.
But not successful. Turn brown after one week.
Actually the moss is quite beautiful, anyway really can plant in aquarium meh ??
those things are club mosses
not sure if they'll survive in aquaria
normally people put them in those wet reptile enclosures
if you go to the NUS biodiversity museum you'll see some of them with the small lizards and scorpions
leastways, they were there last i saw
Sorry lah! I don't have a digital camera. Mine analog camera can do macro. I will try to think of something but not so soon.
Hi
Where can I get this moss?? Anyone has some to spare??
Thanks
hint: look along the drains... []
Ai Yah! I regret that I sold my SLR and now I don't have a digital camera.
David,
It's not the type that people used for Bonsai! It really looked like Taiwan fern on the lawn.
Wait till I get a closeup camera.!
Ha... now I will starting looking into drains and the turf when I am walking... Imagine the pedestrian around me who will think that I drop money or gold.[]

It would be even funnier if you started to draw a crowd behind you trying to figure out just what you dropped.... []

Then I will pick up some moss and tell them that growing this moss will give them good luck and strike TOTO.[]
After that... maybe LH will be history...[]

Hi KC,
Can I have the exact location of the Moss whereabouts?? Tried looking around for it in drains, but …
Thanks!!
Er, not in the drain lah! On grass patch that are moist and shady.
It's very common in Woodlands. You can find it at Admiralty MRT Station at Woodlands Ring Road, Blk 677. This place only got a small amount. I'm not telling where I found a whole lot of them , Just in case I need to do a whole backdrop.
Does this moss Survive for long in water like normal Taiwan moss???
3 week already and still growing. Even my taiwan moss can't survive that long.

Many years ago, on another mailing list, someone started a moss hunt too when he said he found java/taiwan/christmas moss along the drains of HDB estates.
What you saw, I think, is lichen.

KC gave me some of his HDB moss yesterday. It isn't lichen as I had initially thought. It's definitely a kind of moss and looks very much like the unknown moss Choy found in the Bukit Timah Area. I've tried growing the Bukit Timah moss in my tanks but they don't grow well and don't look nice either. But anyway, KC may have stumbled on to a really valuable piece of real estate in Woodlands.[]
