Hey everyone and happy father's day to all the dads out there (pet dads count too)! Anyways here is the long awaited and highly requested moss care video. You guys have been asking me about this for about 9 months and it may have been the most requested video yet. This whole process is really quite simple and relatively cheap. Especially if you harvest the moss yourself. There's no need to over think it. If there are any looming questions, be sure to let me know! Also it's easier for me to address your comments if you start your own thread. By the way, I think I neglected to thank you all for 50k subs! It really means a lot and I appreciate your support. Thanks for watching and don't forget I'm on Instagram as well @serpadesign

Isnt it so wonderful to find a big patch of beautiful moss and just push on it gently with your hand? You might be surprised but here in Alaska we have some of the most incredible moss i've ever seen! I'll never forget my first time going into the dense forest around here; I was in awe of how much ground was absolutely coated in thick moss. It was approximately seven inches deep, with several layers of packed, black leaves and below that, unknown depths of the most vibrant loam. There's a lot of that 'spikey star' moss like in your video, but also mosses with deep red hues, some with bright orange stem things on them, and some that somewhat resembled miniature succulent plants. Thanks for this video

Love your videos. I have been building terrariums now for 45 years. The best one I have is a 4 foot by 4 foot terrarium that is 12 feet high. It is in the center of my house and goes to the ceiling and has a channelled skylight at the top. This one I allowed to grow not by transplanting but by seeding. I used mostly worm castings and the soil was heavily infused with fern spores and kyoto moss spores. Through out the years mushrooms come and go and patches of moss expand and retreat. I only have to open it about once a year to adjust the humidity and to give it a new infusion of fresh air.

I can't describe the silence, I guess the trees and soft ground had a dampening effect. when we got out of the woods the literal first thing that greeted us were two fighter jets, after the lack of noise their scream was so artificial. like hyper loud, and we were so high up they seemed really low. they were going to fast to even make out what fighters they were

Hey SerpaDesign! I am so happy that I have discovered your channel! I watched some of your terrarium builds like three times in a row each, haha! You truly have a gift! I have always wanted to create a terrarium, but I guess I built it up in my mind as something incredibly difficult. After learning so much in one to two videos, I immediately felt empowered to give it a go! I had some big vintage mason and bell jars in my closet that were given to me by my grandma that were the perfect thing to use! Thank you so much for making your passion and expertise so accessible :) I know you've heard it before, but seriously. These videos are so entertaining (and educational!) That being said, I had a calidium that apparently overwintered and came back! I thought I had lost it so I planted something else in the pot. Unfortunately I do not have the scientific name. I believe when I purchased it last summer it was simply sold as "pink caladium.' I was wondering if you would have any guidance on whether or not it could be used successfully in an enclosure (like a gallonish sized bell jar). It's rather small right now (and precious), but when I was reading about them I know that some get quite large. Have you ever had success with this species of plant?

Thanks to your videos I was able to identify a few different mosses from our hike. Thread moss, star moss, hair cap, American tree moss and baby tooth moss.

It's funny how something I would have never considered interesting before is now fascinating to me. Thanks Serpa! Love your videos.

I have done something similar for my dart frog tanks. When I am doing a rinse. I make a 5% bleach solution. 1 part bleach, 20 parts water. I soak the moss for 15 seconds or so, then dip the moss in a fresh batch of water with dechlorinator in it. There is enough extra dechlorinator to remove any residual bleach. The short bleach bath doesn't really hurt the moss, and it kills potential bacteria and fungi that may be hiding in there. Adding springtails is great for taking care of any molds that can grow from a constantly wet environment.

Can you do a video where you explain the science behind some of things you do in you videos? Like how exactly does activated carbon and charcoal keep water clean? Also, what exactly are the springtails doing? They eat some chemicals in the dirt, and poop out other chemicals, but which chemicals are they and why is it beneficial? Also, I know plants need certain chemicals to grow, maybe an episode dedicated to the ratios of all the good fertilizing chemicals in your substrate would be cool.

@JordiFloriachClark

6 жыл бұрын

I have just discovered this channel so I don't know if your questions have been answered. In any case, I can answer you the first one: charcoal is a natural highly porous material. Surface chemistry teaches us that all substances may adsorb over surfaces and then they will be removed from the media where they were dissolved or suspended (depending on what substance we are talking about), like if they were trapped. This is irrelevant for most materials because they have little total surface. Highly porous materials are those that have an enormous total surface per unit volume, so they are especially interesting to remove (by adsorption) any particle, since, e.g. 100 g of them can remove many dirt. Charcoal is highly porous because when wood is slowly burned, plant cell wall structure remains and leaves a honeycomb-like porous structure. Activated charcoal is the big father, with a density of pores far more big, the why it is used to purify tap water in BRITA(R) products. This said, I believe you will now be able to extend this further if you read the activated carbon article in wikipedia :)

I know this was posted ages ago, but the reason springtails and other isopods are used as a "cleanup crew" for terrariums and vivariums is because they eat mold and decaying matter! it's the same reason people like to keep snails in their aquariums, because they eat the algae which could otherwise build up and suffocate the other organisms. Serpa has a whole video about springtails, so i'd definitely recommend watching that if you want to learn more!

I love your natural moss! I'm lucky to have at least 4 types of moss growing near my apartment building, I plan to collect and propagate some soon.

I keep moss in with my baby seedlings to prevent mold(they are inhabited by little critters that munch on the mold). I also keep my ferns in with lots of moss for the same reason -- works as great as it looks 😄

Just started my life long journey with Bonsai as a hobby and I'm looking into all kinds of other smaller hobbies that go with it. Moss is definitely one of them. I think it would be amazing to have moss kept and grown like this. I live in Washington, there's no shortage of moss but still think it would be great to grow my own moss and put it with my trees. It would also be amazing to give my trees and moss that sort of personal attention and relationship between each other.

Heya! I’m working on my first terrarium and I have a few questions. I have a small green house on my patio, could I keep the moss in there instead of under an LED (i don’t have much space in my apartment)? Could I add the microflora after I put the moss in the terrarium, or is it better if I put it in the moss while it’s propagating? Loved the video! Thanks!

Thank you for being solely responsible for my new addiction to moss and terrAriums!!!

I was taking some dried dead moss from trees on a recent trip to Alaska for D&D terrain (looks pretty realistic when it's literal dead plants) when I got an idea to take live moss. At first I was going to let it dry out, but after visiting 49th state brewing in Anchorage and seeing a massive moss wall, I decided I wanted to make one of my own. I didn't take very much so I will need to grow some more before putting it into a Picture frame, thanks for the in depth video, I will be following your Living Moss Picture Frame more or less as well! Keep growing.

Years ago when I was six or seven back in 1964, we used to enter Moss Gardens in our local community fairs! It was always a lot of fun.

I use outside tree moss, sanitized, for my fish aquariums, works very well & the fish love nibbling on it.

Eva Parker bro that’s exactly what happened to me someone replied to me and it showed a comment i didnt even comment at all

this is a great video thank u for all the information!!!!

I chose to look at moss because I've been living in a semi-desert environment in Mexico for some years, and I miss it like an old friend. When I think of England I think of the forest where the moss grows in abundance: such vivid greens; so thick and lavish; so soft and inviting; so comfortable and accommodating.

This is the best straight forward howto ever.

Can you do a guide for Aquarium Moss growth and where to find the right moss for it? Thanks!

I made a moss terrarium with a couple different types of moss and put about 10 woodlouse in with some bark and rotted wood/leaves. It’s such a nice little terrarium and I can’t wait until the moss grows even more.

Thanks! Did not know this was so easy to do. I live in the desert of southern Colorado, but there are still mosses among the sage, and of course many types in the surrounding sub-alpine foothills. Thanks! & CheerZ!

I live in Australia, so gatherings moss is possible but hard since it’s usually very dried out, so I have to soak it first.

Gathering moss from the wild can be illegal in Australia (it is in NSW, I'm not sure if this is the rule everywhere). Removing it in gardens and other urban settings is fine though, and there are Australian moss sellers on Etsy. I had a lady at a nursery let me pick the moss out of the potted plants that had been sitting for a while, which worked great when I needed some at short notice.

Very enjoyable!!!

You sir have inspired me so much thank you I just collected moss and I want to set up a propagation box for them and soon start making terreriums

Well done, as always. Succinct. Useful. Well edited and with a nice jazz tune underneath. You are an excellent teacher.

Excellent!
