best moss to buy

[Dreamscape]

Ive heard mixed opionions about which moss is actual the best for fast grow and for growing on pretty much everything. Give me some insight into what works. Whats the best type of moss? I've also heard that mosses like acidic substrates, is this true? I've also seen photos of a man covered in java moss but that was a prank.

I've *just* started researching mosses and have really only read up on Java moss, that seems the easiest and quickest growing moss if the conditions are right. Best of luck in your search.

Sphagnum moss - the blonde straw stuff sold for rooting orchids, carnivorous plants and other sensitive botanicals will come to life in about 60-90 days of steady watering (allow it to drain and not become waterlogged) and bright lighting. I take two clumps of spahgnum and grind them together to make a relatively fine "dust". Spread or sprinkle this dust and water with R/O water and expose to steady light cycle. Tap water generally kills moss - probly too much sodium and pollutants.

I ordered a couple lbs of moss from an ebay seller that stated they would also send a moss growing recipe so I'll relay this to you, I have not yet tried this but will soon:

to grow moss on stone, wood, etc. mix 12 oz of beer (bud, coors, etc), 1/2 teaspoon of sugar and a clump of moss together with a powered paint mixer on a drill until you have a pancake like batter. Take a new paintbrush and paint the surfaces you want moss to grow on with the "batter". Keep the surface moist (misted) and out of direct sunlight (terrarium lights ought to be fine cos the humidity is always high and daily misting).

It doesn't say what kind of moss it is. Does it look like a familiar type to any of you?
