Moss!

I found moss on our back deck today, blown off of the roof by the wind or rain/snow. You're not supposed to go into the woods and just gather moss since it can take a very long time to grow, but since it's literally coming out of the sky and growing on my literal house (in the woods) I think I'm pretty safe in keeping and propagating it.

Here are some pictures of the prep I already had going for the terrarium which are quickly being switched up to keep this stuff alive until the rest of the plants come in.

The moss itself. Might be hard to see in the picture, but this stuff is really dirty!

The substrate, just using the basic mix recommended by Worcester Terrariums of calcinated clay, coco coir, and worm castings.

And I'm soaking more Leca. I probably would have had enough for the old fish tank that I'm turning into the terrarium, but it was barely enough for a single layer of the bin that I was going to turn into a moss box so I'm doing two and a half times as much as I first started with. I'm glad this happened so I had the chance to wash more.
