Is there any kind of moss that will grow in direct sunlight?

Sure, look around where you live and you will see moss growing in full sunlight. Fire moss is an example and grows in cracks in concrete in sidewalks, etc. However, mood moss is very sensitive to sunlight.

It really only depends on what plants you intend to grow. The sun requirement is the same as if you planted into the ground. It the plant does well in shade, then that would be OK. The tomatoes and herbs that I have planted over the years, all do better in full sun. If you want to place the planter in a shady area, then find a "shade-loving" plant.

Highly doubtful. You probably need direct sunlight at least 4-6 hours per day.

I am in Michigan but I believe our zones are similar. I know this moss really enjoys low sunlight and tons of water.

Look for a compact flourescent bulb that is in the 6500k spectrum which is best for plant growth. Something like the Zoo Med UltraSun Daylight Compact Flourescent sold on amazon for about 8 bucks.

I think it is obvious that a sunny place would work best particularly once the plants are established. Of course, watering is important as well. I put some herbs in one a few years back, had plenty of sun and water, grew like crazy!

I'm not sure but this moss is dried so will not spread as live moss would. The case of moss should cover a fairly large area.

If it even grows, then probably. Mine didn't and couldn't get & back. Go into woods and get your own moss.

I'm sorry, Lowell, but I can't answer your question. It's been a long time since I bought the moss. Please try contacting the vendor for more information. Best wishes! Joyce

Yes but only some of the types. The others would be better for a moss garden. My order was great all the moss is doing very well. It sounds like a great idea I think you need a compact and durable type of moss. Like the moss that grows were people walk. Good luck Wesley.

Yes, but they need lots of sun . Spritz them a lot . They will probably get leggy, sparse leaves though.

Yes...I have them strung through ivy plants and still going strong for over a year. They do require full sun to light.

No, It needs direct sunlight. Unless, you have a large window that gets 7-8 hrs of direct sun. You can always try it.

I don't remember if came with soil or moss. But I remember the plant came already dead! It was a waist of money.

This planter needs a lot of sun, I had it under a patio/shaded a bit and it did not do well but in the direct sun it's growing great!

As a planter just for the moss? Line with pea gravel, then a layer of dried sphagnum moss and then soil. Mosses are non-vascular meaning they have no water transport system beyond osmosis (this is why the never grow tall) so they need to be moist and out of direct sunlight. I spray mine with a spray bottle for moisture.

I put these on my deck which gets the morning sun. I only had one plant, but didn't have much luck with it growing. Hope this helps.
