Mosses yoghurt method

zozo said:
Likely yes for most common mosses we have in the trade 🙂 likely there might be some difference in the sp. of moss used how well they do. Also the substrate material (type of rock or wood) used can have a positive or negative effect on how well it grows.

Well I've got lava rock and spiderwood. You told me earlier It didn't attach well on Spiderwood. What did you use? Thread, glue or yoghurt method?

Lava rock is very porous but read some stories about the Moss failing to attach with the yoghurt method. (Not sure what Moss they used)

I have seen you posting a lot about mosses. Can you make a top 5 or so with less as possible maintenance? In the scape that I would like to make there isn't much space to work in. So trimming will be a PITA.

So far I was thinking about java moss, fissidens fonatus and riccardia chamedryfolia.

Do you have any experience with mixing mosses?

Lava rock seems to be a very good substrate for mosses.. 🙂 Spiderwood, i used glue and thread, but in my experience everything has a hard time attaching to spiderwood, also the java ferns.. Tho the spiderwood i have is mainly emersed, the little submersed bit has some glued on fissidens growing to it. And several kinds of mosses mainly unidentified terrestrial mosses emersed. The moss doing the best on that wood is a Livermoss i got from somebody growing it emersed in a paludarium. No idea about the sp. 🙂
