Baruch, I'm sure you meant Hong Kong!

This 'Palm Moss' sure looks like a Christmas tree and did you plant it in the substrate? Can't wait for the update with pics of mature specimen.

I believe i posted that before. Some members in here said that is not moss.

I don't think it's a moss too as the picture shows it has a hard stem which can be shuffed into the substrate. I'm no bryologist but so far, we have not encounter a moss with such stems.

Okay, guys, it's confirmed. The so-called Palm Moss isn't a moss.

I sent the picture to the professor and he said mosses don't have hard stems.

Baruch, when you post a picture that does not belong to you, it's always good to let us know where it was taken from. Even better, just show us the link and not the picture itself. We can't examine every picture to comfirm that no copyrights have been breached so we hope forum users exercise a bit more discretion. Thank you.
