I had been fertilizing it every 2 weeks for the past 2 months. On the
base of the tree some green moss has started growing. Is this normal? I
was assuming that is why it is called 'blue moss'?


The moss has nothing to do with the name of the tree, which is based
on the color and texture of the leaves.
The moss could be OK or it could be a sign of too much water. The
presence of moss doesn't mean the tree is healthy, but it might mean it is being
overwatered.
