    Hello everyone, does anyone here know where I can find wild Singapore moss ? Cannot seem to find them... ... Searched high and low around my neighbourhood but to no avail, none was found... ...

    Do they have roots ?

    Hi,
    From what I've read so far (I may be wrong), mosses do not have roots per se but something akin to roots tht helps them attach to a surface.

    Also,have u tried macritche reservoir or bukit timah nature reserve ifu haven't already??

    How do you differentiate Singapore Moss from other indigenous or non-native species ?

    You should look at shaded areas on soil around your home. The moss is everywhere, you just have to look closer.

    I tried, the shaded areas are rather sparse. But, the ones i do find in shaded areas are rooted plants and fungus... ... A little pathetic!

    Nope. Singapore moss got thinner leaves. It's smaller too.

    Yes it the ones all around.
    But need to understand that those are emersed.

    They look alot different when it is fully converted and kept in cool environment
    I've got Singapore moss but the fronds are not very wonderful since I'm not using chiller.

    TS, if you really into moss. Try bioplast at boonkeng.
