Moss help?

[Tongue Flicker]

Well it's always a good idea to give the mosses a good soak in water before putting them in. This should get them started once inside. Newly put mosses should not be exposed to too bright to boost their chlorophyll production

the other thing to take into account is that not all mosses are alike. some prefer temperate conditions, like you would find in washington state rainforests, some prefer sub tropicl conditons, like in the southeast U.S., and some prefer tropical conditions, like that of south american rain forests. you can sometimes get the lesser mosses acclimate in something like a tropical tank, but it does take time and patience. and then, it's not a given that it will survive. some mosses, especially temperate one, need a dormancy period. they may thrive in a vivarium for a few months, but will die off, seemingly for no reason.

mosses are extremely difficult to completely kill. but reviving them is not easy. i have been reviving some tropical sheet moss in a tupperware container for a few months, but to look at it, you would think it is still dead, but there is new growth appearing in spots, and it has been 3 months. scientists have recently revived a moss species frozen in ice for a ridiculously long time, although the article never metioned how long it took to revive it. i am sure it probably took quite a long time.

Yeah, these moss have been hurt in' for quite a whole. I went back to the source where I bought it and confirmed that the ones I am referencing are cushion moss, but even the sheet moss I bought from work was a brilliant green and is beginning to turn brown. It's come back a bit, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. You're saying to pull them out and care for them separately until they revive? If so, I'm assuming this would be placed on soil in the tub?
