dig it from your garden?
Hi,
Does anyone know where to buy green moss that grows on land?
Not the kind that lives underwater in aquariums and whatnot, but the kind that grows on the ground or in terrariums.
I've been to a few stores but they only sell sphagnum moss which is not what i'm looking for.. ):

But in Singapore it's hard to find moss lying around on the garden cause it's hot.. It's not like in the states where I could just pull out moss from even the sidewalks in autumn. So i'm wondering if there are any stores around that sells (:Originally Posted by cdckjn
You just need to look harder! Try areas that are shaded by thick trees and receive little sunlight. These are usually damp.
In my place in Choa Chu Kang, where there are flats with units on the first floor, I can typically find land growing moss under thick trees. I think they are called Singapore Moss. They are both terrestrial and aquatic.
sometime you can even find quite a big patch to cover your landed area of your setup.
just try look harder

Unlimited! In your house? What kind of moss? Any photos to show?

You need to go around, staying at home will get you no where.
A good place is besides horti-park, alexendra point. Look near the shuttle bus pickup point.

Hmm okay thank you, I'll try looking there soon. Kinda awkward to be digging up moss from a park tho haha (:
Yeah could you post a picture? I'd like to have a look if you don't mind (:
Hi all,
there are either on slop hill (dry) and some patch on wet land.
the one on dry look like carpet and really thick and healthy. however grow together with other wild grass
the one on wet also look nice but the worse is with a lot of green line algae. and i can't help to remove that. the algae too thick. if pull out physically will tear the moss a part
i have try to put the wet in my tank for 1 week at low light with pure water only. they survive.... together with the green line anyway. where the pic above is from my tank.
all expert to ID if this is Sg Moss? or any other else do advice.
It's not at horti park but alexendra point. Alot of town park also have but not big patches.

Ah yes I think this is what I'm looking for (: I'll go look around parks soon then after my exams are over.
Do you know how to keep these alive above land? Do you just like leave them on soil and mist them or..? I tried making a small jar terrarium once without moss but it died lol ):Hi all,

slops with heavy canopy - grow dry
wet patches under big tree - grow wet (but most with algae)
carpet. havn started. still sketching and looking for more idea and resources. will post once something comes forward
they are already on land and with beautiful color tone especially at different contour slopDo you know how to keep these alive above land? Do you just like leave them on soil and mist them or..? I tried making a small jar terrarium once without moss but it died lol ):
