Donny@ageofaquariums Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Terrariums are coming back seen a few shows lately plugging them I think they're great, it's like a little planet in each one just add sun Even more so with the Wabi-kusa ones that are based around a ball of clay...... and then isolated as an island in a lake. Its getting easier too, with LED lighting that doesnt burn plants so easily. Makes me want to go collect some moss!

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted April 21, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Any ideas on where one can find moss around Brisbane? Or Ipswich for that matter!!Are all mosses able to survive underwater?! I've wanted to use moss in my aquascaping but not 100% sure which ones to use!! Check out this link The Basics of Closed Jar Terrariums The author is in Brisbane, so not a bad starting point. generally though you want shade, gullys, creeks, forest.......... moisture! example link text We've had very wet weather in Brisbane recently, perfect for all the moss that has taken off over the last few years. I am pretty lucky that two yards near me have a good supply of moss along their front fence lines, so I often pick that. I also grab moss from other spots. We have a fair few different varieties of mosses in different spots. You can find moss in shady, moist spots, often near fence lines. It is very rarely under/around tree bases and any of the moss around the tree bases here is unsuitable for closed jar terrariums as it goes brown. Moss seems to enjoy some sun each day, so look for locations that enjoy just a little bit of sun.The best way to find moss is go for a long and rambling walk with your eyes down, during or at the end of your rainy season. Take note of the moss patches in your area so you can come back to them. Even if the moss goes brown and looks dead you can bring it back to green quite quickly by harvesting and popping into containers. I collect moss in clear freezer bags. I take the bags and a few sticks out with me and dig up clumps. It usually comes up in big clumps. The bags get full of a range of mosses from the area. When I get home I usually just dump it and come back to it sometime that day. No rush, it is perfectly fine in the bag for a day or two as long as you keep the bag closed. Avoid moss that has gone to seed. When moss has gone to seed it will have little stalks with balls on the end. Do not collect this moss. It tends to go very brown, maybe even dead, and will not grow in a Terrarium. If you notice your moss grow little stalks pull it out and throw it in the garden.

Donny@ageofaquariums Posted April 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2014 OK got some soil and water in the new tank. Managed to infest it with snails already tho........ but anyways, thinking of doing something similar to the below but adding in lots of floating islands and others connected to the back using magnets.

bluebelle Posted May 29, 2016 Report Share Posted May 29, 2016 Any ideas on where one can find moss around Brisbane? Or Ipswich for that matter!!Are all mosses able to survive underwater?! I've wanted to use moss in my aquascaping but not 100% sure which ones to use!! Only aquatic mosses are suitable for under water cultivation. At the moment it will be hard to find anything out there, as most creeks are bone dry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
