Hi, Mike!

there is a web site for a company in Texas called Dallas Bonsai Gardens that
sells all kinds of things for bonsai. Among these items is one called
"Kyoto Moss Spores." This moss becomes very velvety and dark green as it
grows. About 5 years ago, I bought three small packs and sprinkled them
around in some of my bonsai. It took off a little slowly, but to this day,
I still have it growing around in my yard and pots. It is quite unlike any
other moss that grows in my area; it is especially pretty in the spring,
winter and fall.

I wasnt aware until Billy mentioned it that all you need to do is get moss,
dry it out and the crumple and spread around on the soil. My friend lives
about 3 hours away and has alot of moss he can just send to me through the
mail.

I was under the impression i would need it alive to grow. like transplant it
immediately to the pot.

is it as easy as just taking it letting it dry out and then crumple it? Any
instructions on how long to let it dry out??

Thanks im a beginner with this stuff.
