THE FISRT WAY : Obtain Moss

Locate a patch or patches of moss. You will most likely find moss in damp, wooded areas that receive some sunlight. As an alternative, you may have a neighbor or friend who already has garden mosses growing.

Use a square shovel to lift off a strip of moss (the size of the shovel if possible), digging deeply enough to allow 1 inch (2.54 cm) of soil to come with the moss.

3.Use a putty knife to gently scrape moss from rock surfaces. Remove as much of the moss and underlying layer of attached soil as possible.

Remove moss growing on tree bark with as much of the surface material as possible, even taking some of the bark if necessary. The moss on the bark will need a portion of the bark's moist surface in order to survive.

THE SECOND WAY: Lay Moss

Transplant your moss into your garden space. Locate a space in your garden that receives medium to dense shade. A space that receives morning sun and daytime shade is best.


Place your moss in fairly acidic soil. Mosses prefer a soil pH between 5.0 and 6.0. Tamp down the soil where you will place your moss, as loose soil will inhibit growth since mosses expand with spores and not roots.

Lay the moss on the soil. Gently tamp it into place. Moss that is still attached to a surface, such as tree bark, can be placed in your garden space and will begin to propagate on its own.

THE THIRD WAY: Propagate Moss

1. Create a mixture to spread for moss propagation. Select a fist-sized clump of healthy moss and crumble it into a blender. Add 2 cups (270 ml) each of water and buttermilk.

Blend the mixture. Put the blender on the lowest speed and blend until the mixture is the consistency of a milkshake. The buttermilk will act as a binding agent to help the moss attach to a surface, and the acids in it will help the moss to grow.

Place the mixture on the ground where you would like it to appear, or spread it on rocks, pots or other statuaries within your garden.
