Exo Terra Forest Moss 2 x 7 Litres

Product Information

It’s, of course, not an extensive list (there are around 12,000 species of moss, after all), and many others would suit too. But it’s a great starting point for some of the best and most available types. Using multiple types of moss creates the most visual impact. Steve Whitcher; Master Gardener (1996). "Moss Control in Lawns". Gardening in Western Washington. Washington State University.

PMID 17921313. Cleaning moss before use is important. I just give it a soak in some clean water; it’ll remove any debris and hydrate the moss nicely. Win-win.

If you’re looking for moss, you generally have two options: buy it or harvest it yourself. Here’s a guide on where to buy live moss if you’d like to go that route. But…you can also gather moss yourself! Perhaps it is absurd, even fatuous, to contemplate if there is anything redemptive about touch. If touch itself, as an intersubjective sense of perception, has become corrupt, where does that leave our forever touching bodies and selves? I want to push against this interpretation. Because there is a touch beyond the history of touching too: the human capacity for touch and its existential, precarious, fleshy nature. The kind of touch that animated Dillenius’s days in Oxford, despite everything. In a history of botany in England, the author Richard Pulteney in 1790 calls Dillenius as a “recluse”, described by a correspondent once as “busy in painting fungi”. Busy touching nature. Vaizey, J. R. (1890). "On the Morphology of the Sporophyte of Splachnum luteum". Annals of Botany. 1: 1–8. doi: 10.1093/oxfordjournals.aob.a090623. The moss should be spot cleaned daily with the rest of the enclosure. Remove any feces and mold you may find. This will ensure that the enclosure remains clean. Soiled or smelling moss should be removed and replaced as needed. Is This Product Good Value? Cox, Cymon J.; etal. (2014).

In Britain’s colonies, colonialism turned touch into a privilege. While colonisers employed Indigenous peoples to do the touching for them, they retained the rights to knowledge about that which the “natives” touched: mosses and the more-than-human world. They also repudiated any emotions and affects that anybody may have had towards the nonhuman. A plant became an object to be scrutinised. A moss, a carpet to be scraped and examined. You touch moss to bring it home and look at its structure under your university’s new microscope. You touch moss, and yet you do not touch moss. Touching mosses, I did not feel at one with nature. I felt severed. There is no pure touch. No return to an unadulterated relationship with nature. No moss time . Between my fingertips and the sporophytes of a moss bed exist centuries of exploitation and extraction, and behind them, human hands, and the all-too-human touch.Mosses are commonly confused with liverworts, hornworts and lichens. [7] Although often described as non-vascular plants, many mosses have advanced vascular systems. [8] [9] Like liverworts and hornworts, the haploid gametophyte generation of mosses is the dominant phase of the life cycle. This contrasts with the pattern in all vascular plants ( seed plants and pteridophytes), where the diploid sporophyte generation is dominant. Lichens may superficially resemble mosses, and sometimes have common names that include the word "moss" (e.g., " reindeer moss" or " Iceland moss"), but they are fungal symbioses and not related to mosses. [7] :3 Moss grows in many forms and in innumerable locations. Terms like sheet moss and mood moss refer to the form of the moss rather than the actual botanical species. Varieties of moss that tend to grow in large flat mats are referred to as “sheet moss”. Types of moss that grow in compact clumps like pincushions is referred to as “mood moss”.
