need help

[jakethesnake]

i currently have a jeffersons salamander and a grey tree frog( both caught in southern Wisconsin) in a tank and i have some mossy logs in there that they like to hide under but the moss on the logs just wont grow.


in another tank i am experimenting with other ways to grow moss i have some moss patches from the woods in there on a mix of top soil eco earth and some fern roots with a little bit of sand mixed in there and its been about 2 days i don't expect anything until about a week but Ive been using these methods

moss patches: patches of moss with the original dirt it was growing on
wood with finely shredded dry moss: i mist this a lot and i soaked it before applying
moss in a container with air holes
moss on wood in a container

if anyone has some experience or insight with growing moss please help
i think they would be happier with some nice moss and it would look better too thank you
