leaf litter to moss....LOL
this is a brief on the moss i have been using with good success and bad. light, soil pH, sand content, and more taken into concideration will help the moss grow better. it depends though on the type of moss. Hope this helps
Fern Moss (Thuidium): A versatile, low growing moss with a high transplant success rate. Thuidium thrives in shade, but will also tolerate dappled or morning sunlight (not direct afternoon sun). The color is medium green. This moss is available by the square or cubic foot - see order form for details. This is our most versatile moss, and the easiest to work with
Rock Cap Moss (Dicranum): Typically found growing atop rocks and boulders in the wild, this dense, medium to dark green moss transplants fairly well into shady areas onto rocks and in many locations, soil. This moss is offered by the clump or cubic foot.
Haircap Moss (Polytrichum): Haircap moss has soil anchoring structures that closely resemble and function like roots. For this reason, we ship this species in clumps with a small amount of soil still attached. Haircap Moss prefers medium shade to partial sun, and likes a well drained soil.
Cushion Moss (Leucobryum): Prefers sandy soil, likes shade, but can tolerate partial sun. This moss is a lighter green color with a silvery-white cast to it. It grows in a round cushion shape, and is shipped in clumps.
