I have a scapers pad of Fissidens. About 2”sq. Moss is only a few mm high.
What l’m aiming for is to grow it on a particular rock in the ‘scape that I cannot remove or get above water level so trying to figure out the best way to achieve this. Tying directly to the rock is not an option and I’m pretty sure that trying to glue it whilst it’s under water would result in moss everywhere other than the rock.
I’m thinking perhaps to spread the moss a little thinner on to ‘something’, where it can grow in some more, and I can then attach the whole thing to the rock later?
Wondering if this would work? and, if so, what the best technique for this would be? The scapers pad is metal so not really flexible so I was thinking a fine mesh, or thin rock wool maybe? Also, does it respond the same as other common mosses? I.e is it better to try and tie it/stitch it with line, or glue it on?
Fissidens costs a fortune so would be good to get some advice rather than just experiment. 😊
