What kind of plant is moss? How to grow luxuriantly?

Moss is a plant with a wide range of distribution, and we usually see them in hillsides and humid places. The color of moss is very green and absorptive, so it is a good medium for soil and water conservation. Now many people move it indoors for potting and styling, and it is also very good-looking. What kind of plant is that moss? How to grow luxuriantly?

What kind of plant is moss?

There are many species of moss, up to tens of thousands of species, and more than 2000 species are common in China. Black moss, peat moss and black moss are the main categories. Moss belongs to the lowest and middle higher plant. Moss does not bear fruit and does not blossom. It is a typical spore propagation plant.

Mosses can grow not only in the tropics, but also in temperate or cold zones, and are very adaptable to the environment, but they grow faster in light and humid environments, and usually appear on exposed rocks, swamps and forests.

Moss also plays a role in preventing soil erosion because it has strong water absorption and can firmly grasp the soil; it can be used as an indicator of air pollution; it can also be used as food for mammals and birds.

Second, how can the moss grow luxuriantly?

1. Master the correct planting mode

Mosses are spore propagated plants, the general planting methods are hole planting, broken stem, slice planting, other methods are not suitable for planting moss.

2. Choose the right pot for planting.

Choosing the right basin is conducive to the growth of moss, and the general cement basin and tile basin are more suitable, because we can find moss under bricks or cement ground very easily in our daily life. In addition, the tile basin has relatively high water absorption and good air permeability, and the phenomenon of stagnant water will not occur when watering, so that it will not rot in the water for a long time. Even if you forget to water the moss, the moss will not die of drought, because some of the water has been absorbed in the basin.

3. Don't bask in the sun

Moss is very afraid of light, generally in dark and humid places to grow normally, so except in winter should be kept in a backlit, ventilated place to maintain. If you want to keep it moist, you can increase the air humidity by spraying.

4. Put it in a cool and ventilated place with suitable temperature

If the moss is to grow luxuriantly, it must be maintained in a cool and ventilated place with suitable temperature. The most suitable temperature for moss growth is about 25 ℃. Too high or too low will not affect its growth, but it is difficult to grow dense and may be sparse. In peacetime maintenance, we should also pay attention to ventilation to prevent pests.

5. Choose the right soil

The soil medium of moss is very important, generally weak acid soil is more suitable for its growth, at the same time, sand and gravel can be mixed in the basin soil to increase the soil permeability, so that culture can be more luxuriant.

To sum up: moss as a common spore breeding plant in the living environment, as a bonsai conservation is also a good choice, in order to make its growth more luxuriant, we must pay attention to the growth temperature, basin soil selection, lighting and other details.
