Moss is a small plant, the size of which varies from a few millimeters to a tent of centimeters. Mossi do not have flowers and stems, their roots resemble branching threads. Basically, this plant is grown in decorative purposes. Moss does not change its green color, regardless of the time of year and climatic conditions. And the unpretentiousness of the plant allows him to grow it on trees, stones, soil, etc.

Types of mhov.

Moss convenient enough for planting a plant. It is capable of growing and developing without fertilizers, sufficiently resistant to diseases, impact of pests and sharp temperature differences. In addition, he prevents soil erosion and contributes to the elimination of weed plants. Experts allocate such major varieties:

1. Lubboy moss. This category includes about 95% of the entire class of plants. In turn, these mosses are divided into subclasses: Andrei, brown, sphagnum. The main spreads of distribution are swampy areas and forests.
2. Hepatic mossi - distributed in subtropical and tropical areas.
3. Anthurserota MAY - purely tropical plants.

MKA harvesting rules for cultivation

1. In the harvesting plant for landing, it should be borne in mind that the moss will grow only on the surface similar to the one with which it was taken. For example, moss from the tree will grow only on a tree, and moss from the soil will be able to take root solely on Earth.
2. For the workpiece, you need to cut a small amount of moss. For this purpose, the usual garden blade is suitable. When cutting, it is necessary to capture and subject to the substrate so as not to damage the lower part of the material.
3. You should choose mature, well-cut fragments.
4. Then the plant needs to be slightly dried, two days will be enough for this. After that, grind - finely cut or rub.
5. For the development of this plant requires an acid wet environment, therefore, in the process of preparing a mixture for growing, the moss is mixed with fermented milk products.
6. The place of planting MCH should be in the shade. The rays of the sun in the morning and evening make the color of the plant more rich, but the impact of the rays throughout the day is overwhelmed by moss. He especially vulnerable to this factor during the first months after landing.
7. Before boarding, the place should be cleaned of leaves and garbage.

Method of cultivation

The cultivation of mossoid plants on various surfaces is carried out according to the following principle:

1. It is recommended to plant this plant in the autumn period, at that time moss takes better.
2. It is important to remember that the plant for planting is taken from a material similar to that which is expected to grow.
3. If moss is taken on trees with a rotting basis, then it will take wood material for its growing, which is not impregnated with drugs against rotting.
4. Stones for growing can be used not only natural, but also artificial origin.
5. The most suitable for landing moss are stones having a porous coarse surface. But if you need to plant a moss on a stone with a ground surface to improve the adhesion of a mixture with a smooth base, in addition to the main components, it is possible to add a ceramic clay in a small amount.
6. Clay before use must be moistened with a small amount of water.

Landing moss

After putting the task how to grow moss, it is necessary to start it with the preparation of a nutrient solution. For the preparation of the mixture you need to cook:

• natural yogurt or kefir - 2 glasses;
• ground moss - 1 cup.

These ingredients need to be mixed. The consistency of the mixture should be moderately thick. If the composition gets overly thick, it should add a small amount of water, if liquid is a little moss.

The technique of applying the mixture is quite simple:

1. The composition is simply smearing with a brush or hand in those areas that need to be covered with moss.
2. Mokhovy plants are developing at different speeds, but after 6 weeks will become obvious, moss stuck or not.
3. To maintain the vital activity of this plant, salts and water are needed. As well as nutrient elements such as iron, calcium, zinc, magnesium, sodium, oxygen, hydrogen, carbon.

Moss Care

In order for MOS to successfully accumulate in a new place, it needs to create certain conditions:

• the first three weeks should be intensively moisturized;
• after the plant takes place, the regularity of humidification can be reduced, but it is impossible to dry out;
• it is possible that some sites will die. In this case, in their place you need to plant a new moss;
• at the initial stage of growth, the moss has a form of a thin green film that resembles the algae growing on the basis. They need to be carefully spent from damage.

Moss in landscape

Moss as a landscape design element has a number of positive properties:

1. In its appearance, this plant is as attractive as lawn, but requires significantly less effort and financial investments on maintaining.
2. With the help of MCH, you can cover all empty areas of the territory and thereby give the design of the landscape.
3. Moss has a large number of shades and textures, which makes it possible to create original images and drawings with it.
4. This plant is an integral component of the design in oriental style. Arriving moss on the roof, it is possible to provide coolness in the room and thus normalize the temperature regime inside the house.

There are several ways to use moss for landscape design. One option is to create a retro design. With the help of MHA, the decoration of small architectural forms and sculptures located on the plot. This method allows you to make elements aged form. In order to obtain the desired result in the process of decorating the stone objects, it is necessary to adhere to certain rules.

First of all, the object should be placed in a favorable place for the development of MCH. It should be a shaded and enough wet plot. In addition, it is necessary to take into account that the moss can develop only on a coarse surface. Consequently, if the surface of the stone object is smooth before proceeding, the composition should be prepared in a certain way. Also, stone elements are not recommended to decorate completely. It will be enough to arrange 50% of the surface or even less.

It will be enough to look like a moss as a framing for water bodies in areas. In the process of registration of the plant, it should be located as close as possible so that the joints of the joints between them were less noticeable. To hide the so-called "seams" you can use a cheva or stones. It is also possible to plant an embodiment of the moss of the shore of the artificial reservoir. For this purpose, it is customary to use plant sphagnum. Its painting varies from bright shades to red.

In addition to architectural elements and water bodies, it is possible to decorate the soil. Using MCH, you can create a coating that resembles a carpet. In addition, such a coating will not be difficult, since the soil makes it possible to make the nutrients necessary for MCH and provide the required level of humidity. This coating will give the opportunity to solve the problem of the irregularities of the landscape, as it will hide all its shortcomings.

In addition, the coating of MCH does not require special care and correction, because it does not grow in height. When planting a large area, it is recommended to use moss of different shades. There are many landing options. You can land in the form of a certain geometric shape, arrange moss in a checker order or form a multi-colored carpet from it.

Another option is the use of moss for designing garden tracks. The plant is grown between stones and plates of paved paths. With the help of MCH, the framing of the tracks is also performed. This method is an alternative to landing along colors tracks, in contrast to which moss does not require careful care.

The spectacular look will have a moss roof decorated. In addition to aesthetic value, such a roof is of practical importance, since the room will become more cool. Moss can also replace decorative flowers. It can be planted in vases or form flower beds from it.

Conclusion

Moss is an unpretentious plant, so the process of its cultivation does not require great effort and creating special conditions. In the overwhelming majority of cases, moss is grown for decorative use. Today there are many options for its use when making landscape design. With the help of MCH, you can create an attractive and original landscape. In the article, we reviewed the main aspects of how to grow moss at home and make a nontrivial design of the site.
