In this video we look at many types of natural moss from the forest floor!
Many types of moss exist in the Canadian forests and each of them produce moss spores that will spread their seed amongst the forest floor. This natural type of seed dispersal has enhancing the wide varieties still found in both the mature and young forests here in Canada and elsewhere around the world.

All material is owned and created by myself! Thanks and EnjoY!
Thanks again MIG, your too kind. I do enjoy the feed back so thank you, and I am glad to hear you enjoy them as well. I wish I could find more time to enhance the length and amount of vids. I really appreciate the support, and enjoy watching your vids a lot too! Hope to keep it up into the winter! Happy harvesting brother!
Your voice is so soothing, it's like verbal hug
Thanks Brad, I think a moss lawn would be too cool! I would love to see that! I have planted a lot at the side of our home here in the shade, between the rocks, and it seems to work well as long as it is not too direct light. However, some moss and lichen don't mind a lot of sun. Thanks for watching Brad!
Hi Gulllalai! Thanks for the comment! I am glad you enjoyed the video! It is very nice to hear you talk of the resemblance to the mountains. That was my intention and what I found when working with the plants, it really does take the scale down while looking so large! I will have a terrarium m video out, while incorporating some lichen. And a also have a lichen video on it own eventually, have some great footage of lichen! Thanks again!
I'd like to take a moment to voice my appreciation for your video, JeremiahJohnson84. You're clear and concise with your instructions, never skipping a step, and even took the time to add on-screen labels when discussing moss names, always a helpful feature to the interested novice. I could go on and on about your ability to speak well in front of the camera; everything is a smooth comfortable transition, which makes for an excellent learning environment on my side of the screen. It's easy to see you have an intricate understanding of your craft by the fun little bits of background information and tiny, helpful, details garnishing your instructions. Not to forget, you're simply excellent with terrariums, they all looked beautiful. It's not often you discover someone who can offer a quality educational experience with a serene, comfortable, knowledgeable air, especially with video as a medium. So kudos to you, please keep up the good work! I do hope you keep your word with a new video every Wednesday, I'll be sure to keep a look out from now on. :]
Are you still keeping a look out?
More videos on terrariums please! ; - ) Love your voice too. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful, green hobby. Maria
your voice is so soothing
Thank you :) Glad you can enjoy...
JeremiahJohnson84 why you stop uploading?
JeremiahJohnson84 I live in Nova Scotia and have just started a terrarium
JeremiahJohnson84 you should keep making videos there awesome, also you should make a video on terrariums
Done. I will get on it ! Terrarium 101 coming soon to a computer screen near you! I too enjoy these 'small living gardens' there a blast to work with and enjoy! Thanks for watching, and the support! Enjoy the upcoming videos!
Great video, my wife and I cultivate various mosses in our yard, I keep wanting to switch out our lawn for a moss lawn :) do you keep these terrariums outside? What is the temperature range?
Favourite video on the topic so far...
Just thinking the same thing. Missing your videos. Patiently waiting to see more. Thanks!!
Hey, I really love your videos. I can't wait to see more of them. Last spring I was able to get 5 white oak acorns to sprout in my window with helpful info from your videos. This spring I will be trying one of these terrariums :) Many thanks!
Meagen Ruttan
Thanks for your message, that is too cool! I love White Oaks, and am grateful and happy to have helped you grow some of my favourite trees! I hope that you can find a place for them to grow big and enjoy watching them grow throughout your life and it may bring you joy, as well as for those you know!
If you have any questions please let me know, I would love to help you if I can...enjoy! Thanks for watching!
Your terrariums are gorgeous. Yes will you please show us how you made those. Great video.
So happy this video exists. Thank you JJ!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! I've been wanting to grow moss since learning about them last semester in Bio lab...please do more vids on them :) Thanks!
Wow Zona....one of my favourite states to visit...I'm a sucker for Sedona and Prescott...I can not hike enough in Sedona. I busted my Toe 3 days into a trip I took to Sedona last year, Its my excuse to return! Lucky man to have access to those mountains...enjoy my friend!
✨incidental ASMR✨
How did you make the lichen grow?
Great video. I look forward to see the rest of your videos. Happy New Year!
Awesome video bro! ! Well done on your growing skills & video skills too. Thanks for the teaching, I can't wait to grow some Moss of my own.
i hope you get back on youtube soon bud. great material youre posting
It would be great if you made more videos. With spring coming up it would be a good time to get back into youtube, for your type of channel.
yes!!!!!
soo cool!!! i wanted to bring a bunch of moss home last weekend when i went up to the mountains but i wasn't sure how to take care of it down in the desert. i guess a terrarium is the way to grow.
Hey Not a Problem, glad you enjoyed it! I had the same thought when in the forest, would be great top grow this at home! I will get a few more videos out on Moss if I can before winter, make sure to subscribe and get instant notifications! Thanks for watching!
thank you! I love Moss and this is a cheaper alternative to buying a lot!
Enjoyed this one 👌👌👌 looking forward to a video on lichens
Nice video. I'd love to see a series detailing how to build and care for these terrariums. where did you learn how to do this?
i am near tucson arizona. this weekend i went to mt. graham camped at 9500ft. it's a whole other world up there compared to the desert where i am at. i was thinking of maybe setting up some misters for an out side moss garden but i love the idea of doing it in a terrarium.
Dear JeremiahJohnson84 , greetings from Mexico City. I love watching your videos, but specially this one. One of the best hobbie i know. We hope to watch new videos very soon!
Eyal Itay Shoam
Thanks my friend, I hope to have more videos coming soon. I was hoping to create a series on Trees of BC and have some amazing footage. This should come soon once time prevails! Additionally, I am possibly travelling to Italy for business, this may allow for a new series as well! Thanks for your interest, as you and others keep me filming!
Very nice video, Jeremiah! You have Cool collection of moss! I like how you actually showed what you were talking about. It's so hard to get moss to establish in Southern California here. :( Keep your videos coming!
OMG the music your voice loved the video it's perfect I'm teaching a little class in my shop thus weekend do you care if I show them thus video? Thanks can't wait to watch more
Hi will you make a video on how to make a moss terrarium, I really like the candy jar one
I love your voice! Words from a voice teacher!
I would also want to know how you can grow plants in Terrarium as well. Do you know dried lichen is used in cooking too, so I am very much interested to see Lichen video.
Your moss terrariums look like tropical miniature mountains full of flora and fauna to me. Thanks a lot for this awesome video.
It is magical just looking at them!
thank you jonel...nature is a beautiful thing, from the broad mountains to only concentrating on a small part of it!
You're the Bob Ross of Moss! Great video. Can I pay you to ship some of that top quality Canadian moss!? Not much moss in Chicago.
Wow, that would have been a great find. I find myself slowing down a lot when walking and hiking lately as the moss is like a forest in itself, so much life within the moss and small rock crops and decaying trees that have fallen.. Where about are the mountains? Here in canada on the west coast, there are some sweet spots! Thanks for the comment! Great channel btw! Enjoy!
I want to grow a terrarium like these! Did you ever do a how to video?
Did you keep any of the terreriums or maybe added new ones to the collection? An update would be interesting
how to 'plant' those spores?. please explain about the best manure and medium to grow.also where to grow them? under shade or in sunlight?
How do you plant the seeds?
In the soil or just leave them on the soil to grow?
You just surface sow them.. Do not cover them with soil....gritty soil, with a ph lvl of around 5.5
On
Beautiful!! Please do a moss terrarium tutorial!
I will see what I can do.. Thanks for watching!
Hi, very nice video. i would like to know how you use those spores you picked. i don´t know if you have to open the capsules or just plant them in one piece... thanks a bunch.
please make more videos on terrariums. amazing videos. have watch this one more than once. how do you plant the spores once you are ready to plant them? and can I just take a piece of wood with moss on it from the forest and just place it in my jar?
Hi Dulce, thanks for the comment! I will have a video that shows this coming up soon. IN regards to the question, I would put things in one at a time and very slowly to prevent any bugs or critters getting in, as well as making sure there is enough organic matter to air space. I will fill you in soon! Thanks again and enjoy!
Nice video and beautiful terrarium. i find it very inspiring.
but u forgot to tell how you got moss from the seeds. the title of the video looks opposite to the content in the video.
Hey brother, awesome video. Please do more on terrariums. I was wondering, how do you start the moss growing from the spores? Thanks buddy. Keep your vids going, I'm learning a lot from your channel.
Thanks for watching! I should have a bunch more coming soon. Spring approaches! Enjoy
Moss doesn't produce seeds. They have spores. Licjen is really cool too because it's actually a symbiotic relationship between algae and fungus! Great video.
I will have one coming out soon! Thanks for watching!
I will! You asked I will create! I will have an upcoming video on the creation of a quality long lasting terrarium! The one in the video cost me a total of 2$ to make at most!
Thanks again, enjoy the channel!
That was awesome, thanks! I subscribed, and am very much looking forward to your how-to video, and the one about lichens. I've been working on an herb terrarium and would like to incorporate some moss, but I'm still not sure what type to go with, or if it matters what species I use, and whether or not it needs special treatment after being harvested from the wild. Quite fun learning about it. Also, fellow Southern-Ontarian here, hello! ^^
Hey and thanks for watching! That herb terrarium has me thinking! I may need to include that into my 'how to video'. If it were me, I would use thyme in the low areas, and then maybe some cilantro and basil being cut short in other areas with some moss. What a sweet idea you have...Maybe a bit more maintenance than the traditional terrarium but the payoff sounds tasty....keep me updated..
What do you do with the seed when you want to plant moss?
Amazing.... Would love to get some spores...
Greetings Jere,
I love this vid man! very helpful, I'm trying to learn this and would love to get details on growing Lichen with success. I have had nothing but failure. The lichen I have tried was bright yellow and went brown and got covered with mould. I know I used high alkaline water, and that was likely a culprit. Either way, any tips would be greatly appreciated! Also wondering about how to plant these seeds once you have stored them, and how long should we store them before they are ready?
Best,
Greg
ur voice......so nice to hear...
I love the music you have in your videos, is it a song or your own work?
Hi there!! Very nice terrariums will love to see how to make my own from seeds!! Thanks fir sharing and since i dont live in canada but in madris spain i will have to buy the seeds somewhere, but if i have you to guide to plant them and make my own terrarium that will be amazing! Also, thanks for sharing!
How exactly do you plant the seeds? Just like a normal plant?
Great question, literally, sow them over decaying moss! IF you plant it directly onto peat moss, and lightly sprinkle the seeds is, and find a nice dark, cool spot, the spores will have no problem germinating! I will follow up on this video, with another showing the planting process! Thanks for watching!
Good job! thanks for sharing.
I would love to see more. I've recently collected a bunch when my landlord cleaned off our roof. I'd love to do some terrariums but need help.
Hey Kristy, thanks for your message. I have been trying to find time to create a 'how to' video, but may not be available for a bit more time....I can help you out in creating a terrarium, feel free to message me any questions!
JeremiahJohnson84 Thank you for responding. With so many subscribers, how do you keep up? Lol. I've started collecting moss- I think I have two kinds but don't know which. I have also started gathering lichen and those ferns that grow on tree branches. I think all I need now is the activated carbon and something nice to keep it in. Also planted my maple seeds after watching your videos. Now just need to confirm what type. Thanks for the videos.
Do moss make spore sacks all year or in certain times of the year? I would like to know i have a 5 gallon tank and would love to make a terrarium.
Awesome video by the way!!
How did you make this moss terrarium?
Did you collect stones together?
Did you spray against insects the moss before making the little forest?
Very pretty.
Thank you! I have an upcoming video on How To. I didn't spray for insects, just made sure each item was bug free as could be as well as trying to grow as much as possible my self. If taking from the forest, its nice to ensure the area is your property and well sustained, not taking more than you need or should. Thanks for watching and enjoy the upcoming videos!
Yes we want to see a video on how to make terrariums
i love terrariums!! please make a video!!!
So interesting and magical
Hi Jeremiah, I realy like this video but I wanted to know how yo make a terrarium like the one. Cheers!!!
What is a good internet source for info on moss species?
Do you use spring tails?
Can you share a link for where to purchase the bowl?
How did you get the lichen like that?
Wow that's really fantastic. I'm studiyng forestry and for me your terrarium is totally fascinating! Is it a good choice for me to build such a terrarium when i sometimes can't water it for let's say 1 month? Or do i even have to water it? Is there somewhere a building instruction or can you send me a message how to build it? Thank you :) nice video and smooth voice
Thanks for the message. If you can find a cool place out of the direct sunlight for the terrarium, you should find there will be less need to water as it will not dry out much. I will try and get a how to vid out soon. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I want to know how to propagate moss, do you have courses?
so how do you grow moss from seeds? do you directly plant them on soil?
How do you plant the moss seeds?
Hey Jeremiah I wondering how do you plant the moss seeds because I just bought some unknown moss that has some seeds like your moss did in your video. So do I just wait til the caps are brown then clip them n plant them like regular seeds?
Hey how do you grow the seeds?!
(Very cool btw!)
It's Gorgeous
I live in a hot and Humid place will this closed terrarium work in my place under a south facing window.
Almost 3 years of wait and still haven't saw that video you said you will do in the beginnning
Looking forward to it.
Hurry with the creation of one these awesome terrarium.
I have put things in motion for new videos! Thanks for watching and keep a lookout for new vids. Enjoy!
What is that variety of lichen?
Hi Good job there ! would like to get in contact for exchanging some moss
I appreciate and enjoy your video, though you explain how to pick moss seeds you don't explain how to grow moss from them, so the title is quite missleading
Thanks for watching. I appreciate the thoughts and will include the info in an upcoming video. Hope you enjoy!
That would be great, i really want Tor learn more about this and to try it out
how did you make them?
thanx. it looks great
I dun understand what those little yellow dots on top of the moss are. There is no stem attached and I am not so sure if they are spores or not as they just remain dots all over. Is the moss dead? But they remain green. Puzzling!
do you sell the seeds of moss
Hey how do you plant moss spores
I wish you show how it's done. It's more better and efficient that way for viewers. But nice moss!
Hi, I live here in Singapore, and many of my terrariums don't seem to live very long. They typically die out a few months later. I'm guessing the temperatures in the north are probably more suited for many mosses. Here, the daily temperature can reach up to 30 deg celsius. Plus the mosses you have aren't a common sight here, but I would really want some. Do you have any idea why my terrariums aren't as healthy as yours? Perhaps the potting medium? Perhaps temperatures? Or simply other climatic factors beyond my control? thanks. -Nathan
With terrarium s you do have to water them occasionally but only every couple months and very little more water unless you have a extremely well self substained terrarium
I am gathering fauna/items for my first terrarium. After gathering seed/spores, do you have to let them DRY? How do u plant them?? I'll look for a video from you, but didn't know if you'd answer the "dry" question ! Thanks.
+debbiebuster
He did mention it was key to dry the seeds in this video
Do you or can you sell the seeds you have?
New video coming soon...Terrariums! Thanks for Watching!
How to I germinate moss from the spore
You dont have too
Hey Jeremiah, how do I get lichen instead? Like the one you have there, it's so pretty.
vaporeonusedscald Thanks for your question! Lichen is pretty, and very awesome! It only needs light and air to live! IT can transform the rocky landscape into a colourful landscape with new depth and contrast. It gives new life and ecosystems to rocky outcrops and baron landscapes. I was fortunate enough to live in an area of Ontario Canada, that has numerous varieties of lichen, moss and other small growing plants native to the area. Look in areas that are undisturbed from development away from the city and its heavy footprints and walking paths. When you seek...you find...explore my friend, it will be waiting for you! thanks for your question JJ!
more terrarriumerrrrums videos!!!! please
high there would those mosses live in warm say 25c
would like to watch a tutorial of your Moss Terrariums...
