G'day all...

Growing moss in Southern Arizona?

They said it couldn't be done...well, they were wrong!

If you create the proper environment, as has already been stated, you can grow
moss...even in Tucson.

However, in Tucson, you may have to mist the moss three or more times a day
without overwatering your bonsai...and this may be unmanageable for most of us.

As for me, I don't use moss. From my experience, in Northern Calif, Southern
Calif and Southern Arizona, there just are not many trees that have a lush
carpet of moss (or even "lawn") under them, in their native environment.

I prefer a topping of sand or lava...much more natural.

Have a good day...
