Just a question about moss ... how long it takes to grow?

It depends upon conditions. If they are not right it will never grow. Like
any plant moss has needs of light, moisture, temperature and fertilizer. The
problem is, the moss might need different conditions than the plant.
MOST mosses favor shady, warm, moist conditions.
Also the recommended, porous bonsai soil is not very favorable to moss
growth.
A lot of growers grow their moss in flats of milled peat and transplant to
their trees before display.
