Just guessing ... can I use a box half of height of yours?
Thank you for sharing.
@@Bright-It yes
I want to be a great gardener one day. Please pray for me where I want to be.🙏😊🍃
Sure you will be. My prayers are with you

Absolutely, no beating around the bush. Straight forward info.
Definitely, 👍 Subbed 🤝🌱🌿🙂
Agree. He is blowing up in my feed, he’s everywhere! I’m going to a Goodwill to look for the perfect container. I grabbed some moss before our cold Fall came. I even have some springtail that showed up unexpectedly in my land crab terrarium!
Thank you so much for all your videos. I could watch them all day. You have inspired me so much!
I'm so glad! Thank you.
Your way of expressing is also appreciating
ali thank you.
Nice video with a lot of useful information!
One question though, if you fill the whole area with moss from the beginning you are not really propagating it, are you? It's more like a long term storage of already existing moss ;)
dodger regdod you are absolutely right. I keep using up the moss so theres always space for them to grow.
Yeh even I thought the same
Very detailed video, thanks, one question what to use to stop fungus growth, kindly reply, thanks
Where to get moss for starting, any moas growing in moist area will do ji??
I thought so either
Very informative!
Thank you, I copied and it worked out perfect for me ❤️🌿🇦🇺
You are welcome
Hi , thnx for such a unique n worthy video share , I didn't get the last step ( u spry lastly on the top of moss ) plz do guide , I m anxiously waiting , thnx
Thanks. I sprayed RO water
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thnx but plz explain what is RO water ,thnx
@@lubnayousafbaig1285 it is reverse osmosis water from a water purifier. You can Google more about it.

Welcome to the channel
Thank you very much for this fantastic video!!! Never heard of using Springtails are but looking into it. Lovely rustic ballad.
Thanks
Now I know what Im looking for.
Thank you for sharing
Thank you. I have wanted to grow moss for terrariums. This video was so helpful.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you
Oops, I spoke too soon in my last comment. Thank you for the information, very good!
Why do I love moss
great video, can i just use only soil to grow the moss?
Thanks. You can give it a try
Could you show how that looks like after several month ( cause I doubt it will work with Bryum this way) ? And why do you add that much moss if you want to grow? Actually it would be enough if you add a few very tiny pieces so the moos has enough space to grow.
This is an old video. I actually used up the moss for my projects in the next couple of weeks. I have several boxes now and they double up as plant conditioning boxes as well. Typically moss will grow leggy and tall in enclosed spaces. The growth is mostly vertical and very minimal as ground cover. You could check out this video but it is in a much transformed state

Really interesting to watch
Thanks
This help a lot. Thanks. Subbed
Chief Reef glad to know. Thanks
What did you add up as cleaning crew
Springtails
Thank's for sharing this content.
I think this is the first time I've heard you speak mate!!! You should do it more :)
Great so far 5ill half. Now will have to watch substrate making video. Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel
One suggestion is to include yourself (your face) in your videos. We get to know you as well as your instructions, which are great, by the way.
Thanks for the feedback. I have done a few face cams in the past. Would try to do more in the future.
Wonderful knowledge transfer.
Is direct sunlight affects them??
Yes direct sunlight will kill them. Indirect diffused sunlight is ok. Artificial lighting is best in my experience.
Great video, very informative. My only concern is that you actually filled up the box with moss so you're not really propagating it, it's more like storage? It would be interesting to see you grow a full tub using your substrate from a small portion of moss.
As explained on similar questions in separate comments
I checked out all of your videos, those r really helpful. How can i maintain this box without led lights and also the plants im buying to use later how can i preserve plants.
thanks
afsana akhter tania thanks. You will need a good lighting. You can try tube lighting too. Tropical plants can slso be planted in this box
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you
I recently collected Mosses.. now how to clean and rinse.? I find some very small worms ..are they safe to keep or should I wash them away?
You can rinse and clean with RO water and yes remove the worms
Well.. I couldn't remove the worms . There's too much..😑
My box must not have been air tight it dried out I got tired of constantly spraying. I will try again with a different plastic container
What lighting is good for a terrarium? special lux? thank you
Covered here ua-cam.com/video/_3-WPc6n-6A/v-deo.htmlsi=50wpojTMsqW7V8Vu
What typa water would u suggest
RO or collected rain water
Very well explained and demonstrated.
Wow it's aswm🔥
Thank you for ❤️ and like
Hi, Very helpful video.. Was wondering, how long it takes for moss to grow, say to double in volume/size?
Thanks. Moss is slow growing when it comes to home propagation setups The strands can grow tall quite fast but takes very long to cover surface area. Sometimes they may not grow if the right balance of temperature, humidity and light is not achieved. It’s always challenging to mimic conditions that helps moss to grow in nature.
Can it work on aquatic moss like java moss?
Yes
Thank you nice video! Could you just explain me what is the exact function of the charcoal?
Thanks. Absorb excess water, anti bacterial and anti mold properties, remove odour. Carbon for plants.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you! So it's to buy specifically for plants? I'm trying to propagate my own moss...
What should be the best light for moss propagation and storing ferns ? I’ll be using the same box probably
Covered here ua-cam.com/video/_3-WPc6n-6A/v-deo.html
Thanks so much!
Good explaining bro. Thanks for your video
Thank you
Wow....
Thanks!
Thank you for the "Super Thanks". I really appreciate the support.
This is great. Thank you 😊
great video!! I wanted to ask tho..where can one get pine bark in India??
Thanks. Amazon
Thank for good informaton. This is the information I've been looking for. What is the optimal temperature for moss growth? I live in a tropical country, the average air temperature here is around 27-33°C. Are these conditions still safe to maintain moss?
Thank you. Yes these are good conditions for moss along with high RH levels above 70%. You also need to bear in mind that all types of mosses have varying requirements. Some grow better in tropical conditions compared to temperate regions.
Thank you so much. 🙏🙏🙏 Moss is my favorite plant, and i want to planting moss just for hobby.
They grow well in my tropical garden, provided they are in shaded areas. Good luck! 👍👍
What did he hold in long tweezers and knocked on the side of the box, something ‘tails’ ?
Springtails. More about springtails in this video.

Thank you 🙏🏾
This is great. I just subscribed. I want to try this. Thank you!
Thank you
Is there any update of this box?
Andi Hidayat yes you could catch a glimpse of it on my new video - forest in a jar 2
Good day, great video
Thanks
thanks for the info . You didnt seam to leave much room for the moss to propagate into . do you think you should have left more room or does moss grow really slowly ?
Thanks. As mentioned in separate comments I keep using up the moss for my projects so theres always room.
Hi. Where do you store your moss propagation box? under sunlight? or anywhere else?
means you just store at home?
can u please answer omg
This is helpful, but please make an update video. I'm subscribing now, thanks.
Also if you have a discord or else so I can ask some question to you directly to help me set up my vivarium & aquascape (mostly about moss), that would be great.
Thanks. I used up all the moss so the box is empty now. Need to go collecting moss again. You can ask me questions in the comments section of my videos
Great keep Going....bro
Thanks
Very nice. Can't wait to try out.
Please do. Thanks
what if my moss is Brown? what do I do ?
In most cases they don’t come back to life. You can replace with fresh moss. Use moss that’s does well in closed conditions like Hypnum, Sphagnum and Thyme moss
Is the box should airtight for moss propagation?
closed with a lid. it should not be very loose and should sit firmly on the top
hi, what do I do when I made the box exactly like you showed, but my Cushing mos and another moss keeps dying.
The box is closed and there is more then enough most/water seeing the drops on the lid.
The box in is front of a window but no direct sunlight.
hope to hear from you, thanks!
Some types of moss may not do well in enclosed spaces. Also you can try artificial lighting. Ensure substrate is moist but not soggy.
Ciao come si fanno a produrre gli insetti che puliscono. Grazie

Hi @ the urban nemophilist what a about lighting and temperature??
Covered here ua-cam.com/video/Qbmva1FF4Mc/v-deo.html
Thank you
Hey.. like your videos.. learned a lot of it already.. question.. do you keep the Moscow in the sun or shades?
Thank you. Shade under artificial lights
Vai end result ka vi ek video bana do
Thanks. 🙂 So in your propagation, do you leave it out at your terrace for sun light or do you also have a led bulb setup inside the house with some timer?
Arvi no sunlight at all. Only led lights.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Is it possible to keep moss with sunlight or not at all ?
@@corruptedteka sunlight will kill the moss in such setups due to extreme greenhouse effect. Artificial lighting is the way to go.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist Dang, I don't think I can do that. Then again I am in tropical climate, I don't know how much to vary setups based on that.
@@corruptedteka You can keep the box open in tropical climate, reason for close setup is to keep the moisture.
Can I use springtails that I collect myself?
Yes
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thanks
Hello. Very informative. Thank you it's a boon for starters like me. One question where can I get carbon fibre mesh from
Thanks. Amazon

Are springtails necessary? I don't even know what they are! 🙃
Good to have. More about springtails in this video
ua-cam.com/video/D6GxODPVe7I/v-deo.html
May I know what kind of charcoal you used?
Horticultural grade charcoal
Thank you for sharing this information. Where can you purchase springtails?
You can check online for sellers in your regions. You can also try aquascaping stores and pet stores that deal in vivarium animals.
Should you remove the black moss? Because my moss died I think because the black spread
The ones turning brown can be removed
Do we need to have holes for ventilation in propagation boxes of mosses and terrarium plants ?
I don’t keep holes. The lids are also not completely airtight.
Hi a huge fan of your videos, I recently made a propagation moss but and a terrarium shelf with lights like I had shown in your previous videos but like the moss is turning yellow any help can u suggest??
Thank you. Some species of moss may not work in enclosed spaces. Also check out temperature, light conditions and moisture levels.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist as u had suggest in your old videos like the light measurement using the app I guess the light meter it was 3200 lux and like not very warm keeping a good moderate temp and misting.. any way thanks. Hope I could show u my propagation Biņ.
Sir a question
Is it necessary for layer of charcoal
Also what is the use of charcoal here
Charcoal helps to filter toxins
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thanks a lott 🙏🙏
From where u get the springtail insects

Thank you
New to this. It didn't look like more than an inch between pieces - isn't this just planting moss (in a plastic container)?
Answered in separate comments as well. I keep using the moss for my projects so space builds up in no time.
which fibre sheet is used .... from where i get get this
Rashmi sharma its a carbon fibre mesh which people use as window screens. You can buy from hardware stores or from amazon
Fantastic ❤️
Thanks
Hi, what did you tap on the box from 7:10 to 7:38? What is the substance and how does it help to clean the fungus?
Those are springtails. You can learn more about them in this video
ua-cam.com/video/D6GxODPVe7I/v-deo.html
How my moss box has a decent amount of mold growing in it, white thin threads, should I be worried
Usually goes away on its own. If not remove manually and leave box open for sometime.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist gotcha, thank you so much!
I have a question...
A propogation box is to grow more moss from the moss you out in the box, right?
So if you've filled the box up where can it grow to, should the box only be a quarter or half full?
I'm new to this and am searching info before getting into it so I have an idea of where to start.
Cheers 👍🏽
Answered in one of the comments. Thanks
@@TheUrbanNemophilist

Hi very informative video !
Really up to the point and simple !
Where do i buy good quality moss from ? Can you help out with some good online portals ?
Thank you
Thanks. I collect terrestrial moss from the forest. You can do so too but pls collect ethically, take permission from forest dept. or from the landowner and collect in small amounts so as not to disturb the natural ecosystem.
Appreciate your answers to queries
Where do I buy springtails?
Does the box need light on it? Thanks! Very nice!
Thanks. Box needs a light. Depending on where you live you could try buying an active springtail culture online.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist from where have you bought springtails.
@@neerjasaini1038 I developed my own culture. You could check out my video on springtails for more information
Wouldn't you want to make some holes at the bottom of your box, the same way pots for plants have holes? Otherwise, even drinking or spring water will accumulate salts eventually.
Or am I wrong?
Thanks.
Explained here ua-cam.com/video/RbbLm5IGIHE/v-deo.htmlsi=aniHXvOppVUBHVWi
Only RO water with low ppm used
What are springtails
They are beneficial critters that eat mold and decaying matter. More about them in this video ua-cam.com/video/D6GxODPVe7I/v-deo.html
Is it ok to place it outside the house as long as it wont get direct sunlight? Just shaded part?
Yes that should work as long as no direct sunlight and outside temperatures is not very hot.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you soo much for the info, ill try it myself soon ☺️
Hi!
I have done moss propagation the exact way but somehow it turns brown in a week or two but does seem moist inside the box. Any suggestions of what could have gone wrong?
Difficult to say without seeing some pictures of the setup. Do bear in mind that some species of moss may not do well in enclosed spaces.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist sure that helps and will try open propagation too
Do you have any recommendations for the led-lights? :D?
You could check out this video for lighting

Hello one question where to get the carbonised sheet mesh from. Is it easily available. Can you please advice from where to source it from.
I have a question. Do I really need Led lights to propagate moss? Can I just put them into the propagation box and place it inside my room without direct sunlight? Thank you. I hope that you will notice my question
Arvin Macanas you will need led lights if you want positive results.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist How many hours should I turn on my LED? is there a way I can send you a photo? Need help identifying the moss I just collected😂
Arvin Macanas use a timer for consistent 8 to 10 hrs duration everyday.you can send me photis on my insta page. Same name
@@TheUrbanNemophilist thank you so much! okay i will send the photo
Is it necessary to use gravel and charcoal, cause I've propagated moss without gravel and charcoal.
Just use a closed container and toss some moss into it with some water it'll propagate with no problem.
I'm just asking if I should use gravel and charcoal or not, cause till now I don't have any problem with my moss.
Gravel false bottom helps to store excess water and sets up a rain cycle that can keep the moss hydrated at all times. Separate watering will not be needed then. Charcoal works as an antibacterial agent to remove toxins which can kill the moss in the long run. These are all based on my experience and study.
@@TheUrbanNemophilist oh....I appreciate your dedication towards gardening and thanks for replying, most of the people I ask won't even reply.
Sorry for my bad english.
You are doing amazing work keep it up.
And one more question "is it possible to grow mosses in tropical regions that aren't from tropics?"
@@Su_Myth01 yes it’s possible. Thank you
@@TheUrbanNemophilist can I use coal instead of charcoal?
@@Su_Myth01 no don’t use coal

Where should we kee it after closing the box
I keep in indoors under led lights
Can we skip the springtails or are they necessary?
You can skip
@@TheUrbanNemophilist ok, thanks for the reply!
Is this activated charcoal?
This is horticultural grade charcoal. It’s pretty much the same
hi where can you get the carbon mesh from cheers
Amazon
From where can I get good activated charcoal for these projects

Hello. Can we keep the box in bright natural light or afternoon sunlight?
No sunlight will kill the moss and plants. Filtered indirect light may work. Best results with artificial lighting

@@TheUrbanNemophilist Thanks🙏
How many days will it take to catch on?
Hi - your question is not clear to me
@@TheUrbanNemophilist I mean after u place all the moss and plants how much time it will take for the moss to attach itself to the rocks or do they remain as they r placed
