Moss is Boss!
Isn't it just the best!?😁
of course
Floss is boss actually if you watch the peep show
god I love moss
Moss Rules!!! 😁
Bro what are you doing here lol
Checkin out Moss and looking at lifeforms🤔
1/3 of my back yard is moss. I love it.
Isn't it just the best!? 😁
👁👄👁
🤩
you are the reason i love moss 😍😍
Moss is lovely 😍
Broooo loveee this video!!!
The moss nation will rise!!! 💪🏻
Glad you enjoyed Buddy 😁 Long live the Mosses 🙏🏽
Some traditional Japanese houses have a green inner yard covered in different mosses, very beautiful. Other plants are there too, but moss was the main focus.
It's literally my dream to live in a house like that, love when nature is built into the architecture 😁
@@The-MicroverseI agree ☺! In our "Western" culture (I assume) it hasn't received much attention, but moss is such a large plant family with its own beauty, it really deserves that.
I'm kinda glad its underrated, you know what mass appeal can do when people fixate on a thing.
My home has tons of different moss types growing in the yard. I’ve been searching for information how to remove the grass without harming the moss as I prefer it to grass. Any ideas?
If there isnt alot of grass you can use twizer to pick the grass by the roots, other than that, you can remove the moss carefully then dig out the grass before putting the moss again, dont have much experience with grass honestly 😅
this video was amazing!! i also got into terrariums because i was interested in growing moss 🎉
Thanks soo much 😁, isn't moss just the best!!!
Reverse for me I made terrariums and moss just was an automatic add-on
As long as Moss is present 😁
Dechlorinator liquid for aquariums work if you don't have r/o or distilled water,
Yesss Thanks!!!! How could I forget to mention that 😅
tyvm 4 sharing
My absolute pleasure 😁 Glad you enjoyed
The air circulation tip was so good???? Thank you for dedicating so much of your care to this beautiful life form. Love from Brasil!
My absolute pleasure, is it working for you?! I learned through countless errors 😅. Much Love from Canada 😁
@@The-Microverse i'm trying to grow what i believe to be fern moss, testing wheter not cutting the moss will result in them not being able to develop as well as the cut moss on the opposite side of the tupperware lol after i made holes on the plastic wrap lid they look much more green, thank you! It has been exactly 7 days and no signs of growth or mold
@@The-Microverse
the substrate is very thin tho. Instead of the reccomended sphagnum moss layer i'm using common substrate (about 1cm) and no springtails :,)
So fern moss does like it more on the humid side but aeration becomes even more important then, i did have some success with Fern moss growing next to bodies of water or on some surface that will stay perma wet, it could take some time to establish 😁
A thin layer will not have longevity, i would go 2 inches of false bottom, then as thick as you can with the substrate while maintaining esthetics 😁
Perfect info.... Thanks
So Glad you enjoyed, hope it was helpful 😁
Indigo blue springtails?! I had no idea they existed, but I want some now for my frog vivarium.
There are also orange ones of about the same size, they are sooo coool 😁
@@The-Microverse When I looked up the blue ones, I also saw some that are red. The only thing is, once I've put springtails in an enclosure, I've pretty much never seen them again. How do you get around that?
From what I experienced they do just live in the soil, but these bigger ones are a bit more noticeable and the color make em stand out in the dark substrate, but they are both rare to find, and expensive 😬
this is the perfect video that we all needed
Thank you sooo much 😁😁😁
First OMG BRAVO 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 First rate information and editing.
Second OMG you're so entertaining to learn from, like Clint in that aspect. 😂
I will definitely be giving moss qnother shot with these 🤫 secrets this Spring. Thank you!
Ooohh ma Gaaaa!!!! 🥹 thanks so much!!! Clint is Amazing and Super Informed, tis an honor to be slightly comprable.
Yesss!!! Please give moss another chance itss so lovely
This is so informative! Great job, fantastic reporting!🌻🌼🐝 Keep it up 🙌
Thank you so much!!!! 😁
Loving this video. Thank you so much. Let's go algorithm
My absolute pleasure dearest Lifeform!!! sooo happy to see I'm not the only one completely obsessed with Moss 😅
Wonderful!
Much Gratitude fellow Lifeform!!! 😁
i love moss. thanks for the tips!
The pleasure is mine, hope the tips help, may the Moss be with you 😁
Yes!!! How can I possibly like this more 😍
Soo Glad you enjoyed fellow lifeform 😁
The edit is giving me a headache. I know you are trynna capture my attention span with non-stop transitions but seriously that's for tiktokers, not for zen plant growers :). Anyways cool pun in the title.
Its honestly alot of pain to do these transitions, and I don't wanna be giving my fellow lifeforms headaches, I shall adjust
thank you - it is making me motion sick and these are such gorgeous images, I'd like to be able to relax into them a bit.
I Really appreciate your feedback fellow life form 😁 I shall work on a relaxing moss guide, and adjust my use of transitions for all future content 😁 your time and patience are greatly appreciated
@@The-MicroverseEow. Nice job taking constructive criticism. Thanks for the video.
I am Learning and feedback from the fellow lifeforms that watch my content is invaluable 😁
Thanks for your mossy secrets, informative and extremely entertaining! Made me laugh out loud a few times. Keep being you :D
I'm sooo glad you enjoyed the video, this put a big ole smile on my face 😁
great vid, thanks heaps!
Thank you fellow Lifeform 😁
Awesome
Much Gratitude fellow lifeform!!! 😁
Thankyou for that! Greetings from Brazil!
My absolute pleasure!!! and Greetings to you fellow Lifeform 😁
the moss whisperer
I love it!!! 😁, might just put that on a t-shirt
Great video❤ subbed
Gratitude Fellow Lifeform 😁, glad you enjoyed!
I want to build an outdoor moss garden, but is so hard to find information on this kinds of gardens.
I love moss gardens!!! 😁 the main issue with them is direct sunlight, though there are some light loving species the heat of the sun tends to cook it, but if it's a well shadded area, or has a water feature that should make for a nice Zen garden type setup
@@The-Microverse the sun heat is a big factor here where I live, since it's a tropical country. The shade tip is a good one, but for some reason I don't seem to be capable to keep my moss alive 😢
How does it die, does it dry out, melt? ,does it go soggy, this can help pinpoint the possible reason the moss is dieing, usually tropical areas are the best for growing moss 😁
@@The-Microverse it usually dries out, even if the soil is still wet, after some time it just dies.
Are there trees for shade in the area? If its sitting direct sunlight most of the day the humidity in the soil wont matter, moss loves defused light
I do moss appreciation too! Legend.
I'm completely obsessed with Moss 😁
and lychen too@@The-Microverse
Ooooh lychen is a most curious lifeform, I wanna make a UV reactive terrarium with lychen everywhere 😍
surprised how this one video. the first ever one i watched from this channel, got me to subscribe, and i honestly am quite stingy with my subscriptions
but you earned it love your work
That is High Praise 🥹, May all the comming videos continue to earn your valuable subscription, and even more valuable time, thank you for being the awesome lifeform that you are 😁
oh my god stop making everybody fall in love with you, you beautiful creature@@The-Microverse
Ooh!!! do go on I adore Praise ☺️
I like your funny style :-)))
Gratitude Fellow Lifeform !!!, I'm glad you enjoyed 😁
Great video, I love anything moss related and this video was packed with useful information. My moss has always died in the past, I'll definitely keep your advice in mind next time 😁
😂😂 "Do not cook your moss"
Gratitude Fellow Lifeform!!!😁glad this was helpfull, I have cooked my moss before 😅
cool
Thanks 😁
hi, i was curious as to whether or not you have grown thread moss? ive had some difficulty with it despite following serpa and others guides. when in a vivarium, it gets eaten by the isopods fairly quickly any time it has any notable growth. when ive grown it in a moss-only terrarrium, i can keep it alive for a month or so before it dies back. sometimes it dies for good, sometimes it will bounce back, but i cannot for the life of me get enough growth our of it to harvest it. i will try adding some ventilation and daily mistings rather than enclosed with periodic mistings during maintenance. thanks for the video
Hii!, so I did notice i dont have alot of success with moss if isopods are present, they eat the dead part at the bottom and work their way up, try keeping the moss in a container with only spring tails, try that out, and let me know if it works then the isopods Do eat moss, thanks for watching 😁
Inspector Moss 😂
🤣Not an "actual" Inspector 😅
I knew a graffiti artist that would blend moss, and flour together, and paint moss art on walls that would grow in the moss art design. 🧑🎨
That Absolutley works!!!!, i find it best to make a paste with live Moss, Aquasoil, and some water 😁 The Magic Paste of Moss!!!
@@The-Microverse Many 🙏 Thanks for the advanced moss tips!!!, I mosst try this recipe. Sporssax Acrivate!
🤣🤣🤣 May the Spores be with you!!! Oooh Tshirt idea!!! 😅
Hi, I was wondering if perlite could be used for the false bottom, when growing moss.
Absolutely!!! Perlite I believe is a type.of lava rock, so it is very pourous, ideal for healthy bacteria, is both water retentive and well draining, sand can also be used as long as its coarse 😁
Awesome I had the same question, thank yall
My pleasure 😁
A very comprehensive well edited video. What is your take on ambient room temperature’s effect on moss growth? Here in India our ambient temperature goes very high during summers
Because all the mosses I used are in a temprate enviroment if the ambient temp gets too high, i get mold, but usually moss here goes dormant in the cold months 😁
Any advice on which type/ species would be best for air filtration? I am halfway considering (which, for me means "committed, just not scheduled") getting all inventor-ish and building a moss air filtration rig(s) for my house.
Ooooh!!! While I have not personally tried air filteration using moss, I do have some information that could prove usefull, I would start with the larger varieties like sphagnum, or haircap, I would go for a mix of haircap, pincushion (it withstands dryer conditions), if air circulation is going to be constant a fogger or misting system would be advised to regulate the humidity, aim for 70 to 80 % that way by time it gets through the ducts, it should be around 65%, this is super interesting and I would love to know how it turns out 😁
@@The-Microverse I'm thinking a water table type setup that has water flowing, with a fan behind it. It's all subject to change, though, since I haven't even made it to the drawing board
😲 That sounds even better, and more functional than a fogger or mister, can do a hydroponic type system where the water runs through Leca or lava rock ( for water wicking and beneficial bacteria) Fern, string and hypnum moss would thrive in these conditions and then you can build up tuffts of haircap, pincushion or sphagnum on there 😁, I'm getting Hyped... oooh can add a vertical element and get a waterfall going!!! Like a great big wall of lava rock covered in mosses through which air would pass 🥹
@@The-Microverseyes this sounds wonderful. I wonder if this would be an effective filter of done on a larger scale. Seems like it might! The only thing I'm a little concerned with is the level of humidity required as I live in an already humid climate.
Being in a humid climate could actually be better as constant circulation would be needed and that would reduce the humidity by the time it cycles back into the vents, would need a bit of trial and error to perfect, but definitely doable 😁
This got me interested. Moss just popped out on some of our pots. Weird that some pots got them while the others don't.
Might be the type of substrate of the material of the pot itself, I know moss loves terracotta pots because of their water absorption 😁
@@The-Microverse they're all plastic pots. Some pots just had moss growing on the soil, kinda like ground cover for the plant. Meanwhile the others are dry bare soil. Maybe I'll try transplanting some of the moss once the rainy season start.
That works as long as the substrate doesn't dry out 😁
Im trying to learn to grow moss all over under my trees, so large scale! Everthing i see is for terrariums! Anyone know how to cultivate if quickly? I guess ill get large trays and propigate under the trees.....i collected a bunch today off a rock wall and its beautiful. I placed it under my Japanese maple and looks great. Im seeing it everywhere. But its also in my own grass.....ill never kill it again
New moss lover.....
There are plant nurseries that sell moss by the square foot. We're getting ready to abandon the idea of a conventional lawn in our very wet, very shady backyard, and may devote a portion of the space to a moss garden, with native wildflowers in the small parts that do get sufficient sunlight.
Moss is just lovely and it can actually fill in empty spots in the lawn, but a little moss garden under a Japanese maple is heavenly 😁
Im gonna need to look into nurseries, I'd love to get sheets of moss 😁
Be sure to check reviews first. I came very close to buying from one place, only to discover, when caution kicked in, that they have tons of 1-star ratings on Yelp, with pictures to back up the complaints.
I usually just ethically forage moss, when I'm out and about, and put it through this process in the Protocol section, and experiment with different mosses in different setting😁
haha that is a funny video man, reminds me of when i washed my first moss to prevent problems and i went "above and beyond", then I noticed i still introduced 1 isopod of the common variety AND the all mighty gods of death, thrips! 🤣 But I don't know which moss I have because mine can also grow very well while 100% submerged under water. To me it looks exactly like spoon-leaved moss which is apparently critically endangered (not because of me LOL), and it happened to be the prettiest on my property. I have had it under water for over a month and it kept growing very healthy. If I had known, i would have put the whole thing in there, but I m convinced thrips can survive anything 🥲 no idea how u guys deal with them in those fancy terrariums without them sickening and devouring all your fancy plants!
That us awesooome!!! You could play a role in bringing that moss from the brink 😁, the isopods i mainly use if there is a reptile or amphibians, they are very good at cleaning the "leavings" 🤣
I only have those cow isopods that are common all over the world i think. I tried them in a tiny enclosed terrarium and they murdered each-other by eating the moss inside of their habitat, so i had to get some myths out of the way since there was leaf litter and very tiny decomposing branches. It s not easy to use those guys, i wonder if the white/purple dwarf ones are better, what has your experience been with those? everyone swears they don't eat live plants too 😅@@The-Microverse
So, now that I actually think about all my past and current builds, you are absolutely right, because every enclosure that has isopods doesnt have moss growing on the substrate, they'll leave moss growing on walls alone
ahh cool info about height indeed, thanks! i will try to remember it if i ever try another terrarium. I still dream about making a really nice one for something almost no one will ever even see, i love the zebra jumping spiders, they are so small to look at and everything for them looks like a huge adventure 🤣 maybe someday... was nice talking to you! @@The-Microverse
@@ragingcalmness7815 jumping spiders are soooo cool, when designing the terrarium don't forget to scale down all the hardscape and plants so it doesn't over grow superfast, was nice talking with you as well, let me know how that terrarium works out
Hi!! loved the video. How many HOURS of artificial LIGHT do you give the mosses?:)) THANKS! (caps are only to get your atention LOL)
Hahahaha I'm Glad you enjoyed the video, i have most of my moss on a 12 on 12 off, tropical style light cycle, you can go as low as 10 or even 8, great question, why did i not mention that 🤔
Many of my favorite groups of plants grow in sphagnum moss.
Mine too!!! Epephitic plants are awesome, ya just keep the roots hydrated and they ar good to go 😁
@@The-Microversea lot of carnivorous plants grow in sphagnum moss. Which are my favorite groups of plants.
Ooooh I love me some Dorsserra ( is that how you spell it?! 🤔) the honey dew, sooo pretty
@@The-Microverse I love me some pitcher plants! You grow Nepenthes in long fibered sphagnum moss mixed with perlite and orchid bark. Most Drosera can be grown in sphagnum moss as well while others prefer sandy soils. Most Sarracenia grow in sphagnum moss in the wild.
Hey man lean into this content it's fucking amazing
Hazza!!! I'm Glad you enjoied, Ill definitely be making more content like this 😁
@The-Microverse that's awesome!
Although I collect rare houseplants and grow aquarium plants with ease, I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to grow moss, so I define admire the talent
Gratitude fellow lifeform!!!, moss is tricky, but if you kinda treat it like an exotic Fern you'll have success with most species, then its kind of learning on the Job 😅, taming the moss take lots patience, and failure, so keep going, try a different kind of moss, research it specifically, split it into pieces and give each different conditions and see what works, if you keep going you'll end up in a Mossy place 😁
DA Moss Boss! Aaaaw I'e always love moss, id sit in a patch in the woods where the sun would shine through the trees and feel like a fairy, ok i was like 5 😂 i did try and put it on my shed roof but i don't think i did it right because it dried out 😢😢😢😢😢
Thats why I can't wait for spring, all the little magical worlds are revealed 😁, moss needs some shade, and high humidity to grow on a roof but also depends on the type, some mosses like the dryer side
Very nice video, bravo. Did you ever attempt to grow some moss species outside under the sun? Greetings from a fellow moss’s lover, great channel.
Greetings Moss loving Lifeform 😁, I did try but it dries out too fast, unless you have an out door misting system or a nice big tree for shade and wind breaking, thats why you'll mostly find moss in wooded areas, there are certain types that will adapt or even prefer these conditions, but haven't come across any, could be very interesting to research 🤔
@@The-Microverse thanks for the input, much appreciated :) if I may ask once more, did you ever tried/experienced providing humidity from the back (directly from/troughs the substrate) of the moss? Let’s say, as some moss grow on the top of a bonsai pot/wet dirt/or whatever it may be, sucking moisture straight from the substrate (with comparatively suitable environment conditions) ps: do you happen to have some names for the species you were mentioning ? I’m inquiring so much since I’m attempting to develop a prototype to allow moss to grow ubiquitously on the most diverse surfaces both indoor and outdoor. And despite being an agronomist and plant researches, I’m not quite familiar with the moss realm ))
Oooh these are excellent questions my fellow lifeform, the problem with a permawet bog like substrate is mold and slim both of which will out compete moss, however, aquatic moss that is a climated to grow immersed or partly in water can do great, espesially if the area has a waterfall, or waterflow, do keep in mind that terrestrial mosses do need the air humid, and best conditions are usually dryer substrate and higher ambient humidity, but then again there are 10s of thousands of species so i speak of the habd full i have experience with, fern moss, string moss, thread moss, badge moss...etc planning a comprehensive moss movie if you will where i go into great detail😁
@@The-Microverse that was most interesting my good fellow, most interesting. Do you think that would be theoretically possible to keep them alive and prospering under direct sun with a continuous film of moisture spraying on them? And partially filtrating the UV/IR radiation ? If you have some bibliography you would feel like recommending I would be most interested in it.
A full movie, fascinating; I would be most happy to know about this project. And glad as well to contribute if I may eventually happen to be of any assistance.
More often than not, when sunlight is a factor and there is heavy moisture, algea comes into play, it is a bit of an experiment, but if the sunlight is deffused and there is airflow as well as humidity it should be a success 😁, in terms of bibliography I don't know of any dedicated to moss ( I'm not a big reader 😅) however i am also working of a moss book, a sort of pocket feild guide to identify, ethically harvest, propagate and care 😁
i had some flame moss purchased from a fish store and he had forgotten to water it, so he gave me one for free. i set it infront of my window with no ventilation in a tiny cup. it... is brown. i don't think it's gonna make it. :( can what appears to be dead, brown moss, come back to life? how to nurse it back to health?
With Aquatic moss i find it will bounce back if its now completely dead, but do keep in mind moss is a slow grower, so it could take some time, make sure the light is NOT direct sunlight and maybe partially change the water, if its not greening within a month its likely dead 🥺
11:05 bro i think that fan needs a little bit of a cleaning....
Agreed 👍🏽
i remember seeing years ago a tutorial on how to spread moss. it went like this; get a bunch of moss, pop it in a blender with some water and i believe a drop of elmers glue, blend it until its a paste, and then paint it on whatever surfaces you want, like concrete, pavement, walls, etc. do you know if that would actually work?
The concept does indeed work, I have not tried with glue, but i did make a powder from aqua soil, add some water and live moss, blend them all together, a thick paste works best, if lighting is good and the paste doesn't dry out, you should find it turning green within about 2 weeks 😁
Since moss doesn't have so many differentiated parts, it can get broken or cut up and just grow back. The power of simplicity can not be overstated
Agreeed!!! That is sooo True!!! The magic paste is best if its just hydrated moss with water, I attempted the buttermilk moss milkshake but that just introduced a whole bunch of issues
@@The-Microversehow cool is this!!!
Right!!!, nothing I love more than talking nature and Ideation with a fellow obsessed lifeform 😁
I've been looking for moss....last time I lifted it...put it in my pot garden unfortunately...it did not thrive
Depending of the type of moss, the growing surface or sunlight are main factors, I found that if the moss is domant when collected, it adapts better to new environments 😁
snake friend spotted!
Illumi is soo precious 🥺
How do I know if my tap water is dechlorinated
Good question!!! Unless the water comes from a well, all cities will have clorinated water, that easily treatable with Aquarium water conditioner, available at most pet stores in the fish section, that should get rid of all the chlorine and chloramine in the water 😁
@@The-Microverse I just also read that you can leave it in the sun for a day! Your channel inspire me to try my own
That trick usually works yes!!! I'd leave it for 48 hours if possible, do try to Grow some Moss, its sooo rewarding, takes some trial and error but eventually you'll end up in a Mossy place 😁
Does distilled water work?@@The-Microverse
@@ingeniouspixie not sure about distilled!!! But reverse osmosis water works from experience, spring or bottled water will work also if your tap water is too hard 😁
you'll shall subscribe....!!! great!!! you're a marketing genious hahahaha....
Hahahhahahah, the Wizard of Affection is good at what he does 🤣
I believe it is more properly said "Y'all shall subscribe", but then I am Texan and we are particular about such things.
Please excuse Gondolf, he doesn't get out much 🤣
Isopods also eat bromeliad flowers
I have seen holes on some plants, I suspect the dwarf whites, but if they dont have any detritus they will eat moss, learned that the hard way 😭
Only need forty eight more subscribers untill one thousand or 1k as some say
I know right!!! and just in time for The Microversarry 😅
Yeah I got the frog along with eggs
5:21 these guys get in my paladarium What are they?
Those are millipedes, most are generally harmless detritivores, at least as long as they have detritus to eat.
Some will hunt the isopods and springtails, if they dont have enough food
@@The-Microverse Thank you very much, are they dangerous to mourning geckos?
Not to the adults but they could go after the eggs, babies will be too fast for them, its the eggs in substrate that could get nibbled, are there alot of millipedes in the tank?!
@@The-Microverse Yes, I threw some cucumber in for the isopods, all that came up was a swarm of the millipedes haven't seen an isopod in a week. I was waiting on the weather to get some more geckos shipped but now I've got these in there and I have no idea where they came from. What can I do to get rid of them that won't hurt further life?
I know reindeer eat it, but what else eats this stuff?
Other than general detritevors nothing else comes to mind, my vampire crabs ate alot of moss upon arrival 😁
reindeers dont eat moss, they eat lichens
Curiouser and Curiouser!!!, 🤔 isn't the lichen they eat called reideer moss, i had some and it looks smells and grows like lichen, but is called a moss 😅
👍 This guy👍
the ventilator is just another microcosmos to be aware of
What mean you the ventilator 🤔
i am turning my grass lawn into a moss lawn. There is a mini forest 2 minutes from our house where i gather lots of moss. so far i am just scratching the soil, esp the bare patches then put some moss on top, step on it a bit and water it down. it's raining a lot here in the uk. so i am hoping the moss embeds itself in. it is so exciting
Oooooh this is exciting indeed!!! I would love a moss lawn one day😁
It is very exciting. i was scrolling thru videos about moss and saw I was commenting about turning a grass lawn into a moss lawn last year, but this year I finally decided to act. The front garden patch...half of it has naturally become moss...so i am trying to manually turn the other patch. It is takes in a few months, i will try to dig up patches in the back garden (which we turned into a veg garden). My parents are retired and in their 80s so a grass lawn is just too much effort. And it uses more water. so i think a moss lawn is more sustainable and it filters toxic particles in the air i believe. it's just an amazing pre-historic super plant@@The-Microverse
Moss is just the best, lawns are boring, but moss is magical
EXACTLY they are - I am totally obsessed. Each one is so unique in their style and structure. I have some flame moss in my shrimp aquarium tank and it looks like fine hair seaweed. so gorgeous. @@The-Microverse so I am growing moss, with sedums as lawn cover, with a sprinkling of creeping thyme seeds. Will see how they turn out this summer. but i just love the spongy feel of moss and remembered watching was it National Geographic that they found the oldest bit of ice and in it was some frozen moss, although dormant was still alive and just needed rehydration. How truly amazing
Oohhh I have phoenix moss in my aquarium 😁, if you want fluffy texture for the feet(highly recommended to be barefoot on moss 🫠) try to find some badge moss or live sphagnum, they is the fluffiest 😁
Liverworth always dies in my terrariums
Liverwort likes even more humidity than moss, try to adjust the humidity or spot spray it, hopefully that works 😁
if u are just trying to grow moss leave out the isopods they can and will eat tf outta ur moss
If there is enough leaf litter and things for them to eat they will perfer that, but if there isn't they will absolutely eat some moss
Did he say late 90's? Is he talking shag carpeting
Shag !!!!, thank you!!! Thats the word, Shag Carpeting 😅
@@The-Microverse that was like 70s and 80s style.
By the time i knew what a carpet was it was the 90s 😅
you didn't really sterilize the moss, so much as you decontaminated it
Truth!!!, im sure there is at least a bunch of water bears in there 😁
@@The-Microverse The plant tissue culture people truly sterilize their plants. But that would kind of be pointless in a bioactive system anyway.
but sterile tissue culture moss in a jar would be kind of cool too
the idea is to not introduce pests, not complete sterilization 😅, moss tissue cultures is a fantastic idea thou 😁
Video editing specialist no moss here
What mean you fellow Lifeform?! 🤔
@@The-Microversefeed your head not the trolls 😂 he’s being stupid. ❤
Lol I thought it was like a joke or something that i didnt get 😅
sadly the houseplant and terrarium hobby pays alot for illegally and unscrupulously harvested moss. We should all grow our own, never pay for it as it funds the moss harvesting industry, which is pretty much always wild harvested in extremely large quantities, sadly it is done at every level from people looking to make a quick buck to people supplying wholesalers
I get most of my moss from around the city, and propagate at home, sustainable and ethical foraging is essential to keeping the awesome diversity that nature provides 😁
I always just go into the woods and grab small torn up patches of native moss. Never was fond of the idea of buying a bag of moss from the store.. not a clue where it came from or if it was harvested well or if its even native (I keep moss outside)
I completely agree, I'm actually starting to grow my own, enough to sustain my hobby, I wanna have a lil moss farm that I can go to whenever I make a new terrarium 😁
Not calling it "Moss-Know Secrets" was a blunder, buddy.
😲 a Blunder in deed, that's brilliant, Just for you fellow Lifeform Imna go in there and change it 😅
Boom!!! Tis done 😁
@@The-Microverse I appreciate your appreciation of questionable puns!
What can I say... I like Big Puns and I cannot lie 🤣
Ah c'mon who cut the mosstard?
They are detritivores , meaning they feed on detritus....
ai
OI (Organic Intelligence) 😁
Nonvascular means they lack a vascular system of tubes to move fluid and nutrients around the plant.
Though they also have no true roots or leaves, these two things are unrelated.
And arthropods a very general term which includes aquatic animals such as crabs. I think you meant to say isopods, which is what you were showing, which also have aquatic varieties.
If you’re going to make informative videos, be sure to give the correct information. Most people will just believe you and the wrongness!
I’m blocking your channel.
I did do my research, quite extensively actually, however like I say in the video I am Not a Botanist, I would appreciate some science or details that supports the statment "these two things are unrelated".
I am human and thus not infallible, all accurate information is welcome! 😁
Bye......BYE👋👋👋
Fare thee well fellow life forms 😁
random unecessary comment at least dont give baseless hate to such small and wonderful creators
he literally gave a warning to take things with a grain of salt and not everything will be scientifically accurate to a T.
Thank you fellow Lifeform 😁 I appreciate you!!!
