Happy researching and moss gathering!
I'm also interested to know the name of this moss.
It's found usually between pavement stones or at the tops of the drains.
My mom has a few potted plants with this moss covering the exposed earth.
I have several strands in my fish tank, all held down at one end with a small rock, leaving the other ends floating up. They've been in my tank for a month now and still green and alive....even responded well to small does of Flourish Excel by growing 1 cm

5 feet planted discus tank, turquoise, melon, leopard, blue diamond. Two 1 feet Shrimp tanks with FRS & CRS.
IF you fancy a trip to NTU, there are a tonne of beautiful patches of moss and ferns in the foresty areas. just don't go digging leaving holes in the sidewalk, go deeper into the foresty areas.
Can someone please provide tips as how to gather these Singapore moss? just pluck? or do i need to dig out the soil that is beneath them.
From what i have learnt moss don't really have roots a little bit, but not essential for survival.

when you gather moss from around the garden or anywhere else, it is best not to take the soil as the soil normally contains a lot of "unknowns" that will potentially creat problems later on when you include into your tank. What I normally do is to soak the moss in water for half a day (flood of water) then put it on some wet tissue paper, try to remove as much soil as possible, then transfer onto some driftwood and tie with string. Wet the driftwood and slowly wet it over a couple of water, letting the moss get used to being submerged later. I have some success, but most times the moss "died" when it is put into the tank, either it is too low lighting or some other reasons. But I guess that if there is sufficient lighting, moss is the easiest "plant" to grow.
