Hi all!
It's been sometime now that I've visited Frog Forum, but I am nearing the end in my vivarium setup. I've finally had some time off of work & school to finish up this project, and after MUCH trial & error, my viv has finally passed a few water tests! I can't express the relief & excitement I have after having to reconstruct several times--why is water so darn unpredictable?
Anyway, I am now ready to plant! I am seeking moss! Live tropical moss was recommended to me in the past by some helpful users, but at this time I am unable to find ANY! I've checked Black Forest, as well as amazon---no luck! I am hoping for, well, what everyone desires in moss, some lush, vivid greens that will thrive & even, possibly, spread up my back wall a bit & over the wood! Any recommendations are so very appreciated, & if anyone has any for sale or know of someone who has some for sale, I am ready to purchase now!
Thanks everyone!
Anyone? [emoji16] Still looking!

If you can't find sheet moss, you can always use Java moss or one of it's aquatic counterparts. Try checking eBay, normally there are people selling moss left and right there.

Thanks Bill! I ended up buying the dried sheet moss from Josh's. I'm hoping it greens up real nice!

NEHerpetoculture sells both live moss, and a moss slurry, for future reference.
Pooky, have you used the moss slurry? If so, what is your experience with it? Thanks for the tip!

I have used their moss slurry and Like it, just takes time for it to grow in. I am testing out my own moss slurry right now, but I am not ready to sell any just yet.

I have used ne herp's moss slurry. Let's just say that I was less than thrilled and went back to using my own.

Bill, good to know! Do you sell your slurry?

Paul, I'd love to hear how your slurry turns out! Maybe, eventually I'll experiment with my own [emoji6]

What I like to do is take several varieties Kyoto, aquatic, sheet etc, pop them in a blender with some distilled water and the spread the slurry all over. I usually get pretty good growth with this method.
As long as the area stays moist and gets light the moss will grow

I find that air flow helps too
Thanks, guys! I ordered Josh's sheet moss, I'm wondering if it'll look nice to spray a slurry of that on my wall. I would think that a shorter moss would look better on a back wall. I can't remember what the color temp of my bulb is, I know, thanks to Bill, that that's a huge factor in the moss length & brightness!
***edit: My color temp is 6700, so I'm hoping I have some awesome moss growth! Can anyone clarify the watering needs?
You want to keep it pretty moist until it grows. I have an automatic mister set to spray for 15 sec each day and I get good results
