While spraying the seedlings regularly to provide moisture, on day I sprayed
a very weak solution of ammonium sulfate as the first dose of fertilizer.
The next day I found the entire top soil turning greenish. And in another
two three days it had moss all over.

In another case once I forgot to take out a Bonsai from a water filled tray.
Five days latter when I realized this lapse, I was surprised to see a thick
blanket of moss all over the surface.

Let's separate the apples from the oranges here, folks. Buttermilk is
used for moss culture because it lowers the pH, which some but not all
mosses like. No special plant hormones are needed to get moss to grow;
moss likes to grow. You provide the conditions it needs if you supply
constant moisture and a little fertilizer. The magic ingredient in
this equation is: water.
