Description
This is a long description, bear with me and read through to get all the unique info on this.Others offer twigs with moss attached collected from the wild on eBay.
I do not.
Some mosses found in the wild will thrive in a terrarium and some will not.
I cultivate around 75-100 different named species of terrarium moss in my greenhouses at any one time for resale for terrarium use.
These are greenhouse grown and propagated in deli cups, not ripped from the wild yesterday.
This assures you of well acclimatized and established moss, ready to take off in your own terrarium because they have been growing in similar conditions in my greenhouses.
I offer these cups directly in my other listings.
But I also combine these cultivated mosses onto thick branches and then let them grow in terrariums in the greenhouses for a while to establish together.
I use many of my moss species but a few of the best for this use are
Thuidium delicatulum, Hypnum sps.
and
Plagiomnium cuspidatum.
Most logs have several species for a more diverse look.
This is a long process to get to the point you see here.
With mature moss, you cannot cheat time.
You often hear the phrase “pictures do not do them justice.”
Well in this case, it could not be truer.
Photos just do not convey the magical look and feel of vigorous green moss.
When I take these to reptile shows, everyone has to touch them as they walk by.
Everyone.
Seen in person, I always sell out.
I try to keep 200-300 logs in my greenhouses at all times to meet demand.
While each one is individual, they are
between 15-25 inches long.
Most are right at about 20 inches.
You can leave me a note during
the purchase process telling me what length you want, or if you want a thicker log or a skinnier one, and I will try to get as close to it as possible.
SHIPPING ON ANY ADDITIONAL LOGS AFTER THE FIRST IS FREE.
This real display piece will thrive in any humid terrarium as long at the temperature is at room levels or lower.
Most mosses will not survive in very high temperatures.
While it varies between species, consider 85 degrees too high for any of them.
