Review: No success after 6 weeks... - i have grown moss before from other companies and it always worked. I followed instructions on package to the letter and after 6 weeks...nothing. I will give it a few more weeks but don't have much faith that it will grow. It was a cheap experiment so I don't feel cheated, but thought the company should know. Thank you.
Review: never sprouted - The moss never sprouted. I used half of it. I am hoping in the spring to try again.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how long does it take to grow?**
A: Mine took a few months to really get established and growing good. It sprouted in a couple weeks.

**Q: I have an indoor Bonsai, can I sprinkle this on the earth around the tree, and just let it grow?**
A: In theory it might, but if you read the reviews you will find that like me, pretty much no one has been able to grow the moss. I would save you money and see if you can find some nice moss in your yard.

**Q: I want to mix this with buttermilk and paint on rocks but i live in so calif so i'm thinking that it probably won't work?**
A: I have this growing in a controlled environment, it's fairly temperamental. You're better to find local moss in your area, and use that instead.

**Q: What zones will this successfully grow outside?**
A: Kyoto, if I am not mistaken, is zone 6/7.  So it should be OK in  areas like that.  It did not grow for us in zone 5, but maybe the reason was not cold, but some other factors.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems to be growing
*by C***. on April 19, 2019*

It's been a little over 3 weeks since the packet of spores arrived and there is definitely some growth now. The packet comes with instruction but I just kinda went with the general moss care of adequate light + humidity. I sprinkled half of the packet over one side of a 5 gallon tank(about 6" x 8") on top of a substrate mix I made that is mainly used for vivariums and isopod cultures. There is a drainage layer and the top has a thin piece of acrylic lightly taped over the mesh screen to keep humidity in. The lighting is simply a cheap A19 15w(100w replacement) LED bulb that has the white dome diffuser cut off. I try to mist the moss with purified water/dechlorinated(using Reptisafe) everyday but sometimes I forget. The tank has constant condensation on the side so I'm not really worried about it drying up. So far so good, I only used half the packet because the other reviews weren't very promising and I was worried my method may not yield anything but now I kinda wish I had used the whole packet. Hopefully it continues to grow and I end up with some nice moss to use in future projects. I will update the review with more pictures if it grows out.
