I searched all over the internet but I could find the info. the only thing I`ve found was that moss can grow 4-6 inches, but it didn`t say for what period of time?

We had a roof covered in moss years ago before it got knocked (asbestos) down and it always looked the same length around 2-3 inch that roof was probably there for 20 years. There are hundreds of varieties of moss though and I bet there’s some Amazon rain forest moss that grows a foot long. Turf moss however usually stays under an inch.

One would imagine that it is slightly slower than watching paint dry :~))

However it seems to depend on which type of moss, moisture, soil type etc etc

Also whereabouts the moss is growing:
