I found the most AMAZING piece of bark with lichen on it today!

I hot-glued three sticks behind it to keep it flat and upright, then glued the other two sticks on top that had already been living in my mossarium. I finally have the perfect background

The whole mossarium has been going brilliantly since a major overhaul ten months ago. Just local moss lichen and liverworts, rotted wood substrate kept saturated, rainwater spray as needed, LED lights, lid with ventilation, container slightly smaller than an A4 piece of paper.

I used to resent the moss growing on my campervan (a rolling stone etc...), but it has finally grown on me.

I'm now redirecting the rainwater that feeds the moss into my water tank, depriving my moss of its lifeblood. I salvaged some pieces into this tennis-ball-sized glass thing a week ago at most.

Already they are growing! The two tuffets at the back are getting all tufty and even the very flat, compact ones in front look like they are starting to grow!

I hope they won't go all leggy but will stay compact. I'm not sure what the secret is to that.
