Thanks! Good luck! Hope it helped!

I was always wanted to try this method since I saw it on the Aquarium plant lab channel but I never got my hands on that propagator with the plastic dome. Good to see it worked for you, maybe I'll try it too one day

It’s been a good little setup! I wanted to experiment with growing moss terrestrial, buddy of mine showed me how he used these domes and figured I’d give it a shot. Shortly after I got the dome setup I found aquarium plant labs channel. He’s got some cool setups. I want to try a few of them out and see how they do!

Great way to make profit and if you don't have an aquarium and you want to still be part of the hobby this is one of the best ways to go!

Can any moss acclimate to being in water or does it have to be an aquatic variety?

@PoseidonsPets

5 ай бұрын

Depends on the type of moss, some moss may be more adaptable to terrestrial life so they would require more CO2 than aquatic varieties. If you were running co2 injection I’m sure you could grow more varieties of moss

How long does the emerse-grown moss stay green when submerged in water?

Surprisingly it transitioned well. It continued to stay green.

How much do you make with moss? Because I see that your main income out of all these is the shrimp. I have all kinds of beautiful moss on my property in Florida, but is it worth the time vs profit? I mean I love it, for fountains, decorations terrariums...but I need to have a worthy income with it if my time is gonna be invested in it. Thank you

Is it still faster to grow it out of water even when factoring the transition time back to growing into water?

@PoseidonsPets

Yes, plants grow faster terrestrial due to their ability to absorb more CO2 from the open air

Setups can be made with minimal cost, most led lights cost next to nothing to run. Main thing is if you have the market to sell the end product. You can be sitting on a mound of moss but no one to sell it to and it won’t do you any good
