Indoor living moss wall!

[martha@adeline]

Hello everyone!

I am new to growing moss, but hoping to make a living moss wall. (after seeing that the ones you can buy are all dead moss glued to a backing panel )

My plan, having read lots of posts on this forum, is to have plywood panels as the structural backing, with capillary matting as a substrate for the moss to grow on (because Hygrolon is expensive!). I've collected moss from a variety of places and assume the species that can live happily indoors will over time dominate the mini ecosystem.

This is not going to be in a terrarium, so I'm planning to mist it every day.

I would love to hear any feedback, comments, or advice people may have! Although this isn't about orchids, lots of people on here have good moss knowledge as well it seems
