does this moss break up easily, so that i can take the larger ones and make them into smaller plants and plant them in seperate terrariums??

I had no troubles breaking into size pieces needed. I was actually very pleased at how hardy the four of the five types were. The fifth was my fault, kept in bag with moisture for weeks and it was only one that didn't survive. And as it was the only dormant one, it may still come back

Moss is nonvascular so it breaks up easily! They give you a large variety of sizes so that's good too... Also, I had a bit of trouble keeping the more exotic ones alive, so do some research online :) Hope this helps.

Some would be easier to break apart than others, but they came in a LOT of different sizes.

I used this on container plants and it worked fine on large planters if used sparingly. But it is too strong for smaller plants and actually 'burned' some of them so I discontinued its use. I would suggest a different product, or cut the pieces into very small portions.

I don't have fish in my dome terrarium. I have cactus and moss. I used the soil that came with the cactus and they have been growing fine. It is a sturdy dome and maybe you could put fish in it but how would they breathe with the dome lid on? You could try. Wasn't that expensive to try. If it doesn't work with fish you could plant small plants in it. Don' t have to water them.

If you are growing "easy" low demand aquarium plants you will be fine. I also use FLOURISH with good results. If you are growing water lillys you cant feed them enough so you will have to add fertilizer spikes

I have mine in "fairy" globes and they are doing quite well. The gloves have openings so that I can spray them every few weeks with treated water that has food in it (also available on Amazon) and no issues. I think I had a kit with moss wtc that said they could be used in a closed terrarium. Hope this helps.

Actually, my moss applied to a bonsai didn't survive. Too hot, I guess although it was shaded. I don't haveany experience with terrariums, sorry.

Low light plants like Anubias, java fern, and Crypts. I dont know if I would try it with others that need more. Definately not flourishing but very slow steady growth. I didnt buy it with the expectations that it would grow stuff, but tried it out just to see. I think I would go with something more powerful if growing plants was your goal.

I sell this moss assortment. I am assuming you mean an aquarium without water. Many of my customers have told me that they planted these in an old aquarium, along with other plants and were very happy with the results. The main thing is to keep the moss lightly damp and do not over-water. Also be sure to keep out of direct sunlight.

I don't know about Kyoto moss specifically. When I received the Live Moss Assortment package--very well packaged, by the way--I just placed fragments of the mosses measuring at most 2-3 inches on my layers of media, added a few miniature plants, and sprinkled a bit of water on everything. Then I put the lid on the container, and have never rewatered the terrarium again since October!

i have it for a snake. i litely hosed it off before i used it & alot of the moss came off right away & continues to come off w/ each time i hose it off. a turtle could easily bite the pieces of moss right off its very stringy. i have no idea if a turtle could digest it or if its toxic to turtle. i wouldnt take a chance.

No, you have to get the plants yourself from a nursery. Also, discovered that in the process of placing the tomato plant; often would break it off; ruined several plants that way. I did not have very good success with the tomatoes but used herbs instead; they grow just fine!

Hi Anthony ... first and foremost, remember that I'm a novice at growing air plants ... a glass terrarium should work great, but I'm not certain about the moss, and you obviously want to avoid anything that will keep them "moist" ... I'm presuming this means any type of soil. I submerge mine, per instructions, once a week for two hours, then let them dry another two hours on a paper towel. That seems to work great. They're growing and doing great. :-)

I haven't tried to break it down, but it was easy to set up. I suggest that once you start inserting the branches, start from the top down.

I would think so. It is very soft and flexible. You might need a small thin layer of dirt under the moss to feed it. I use it for Bonsai and have it growing on several pots and rocks. Doug

I had no luck with the moss I bought for my terrariums. No matter how I cared for it, it did not survive. Sorry I can't be more help!

no you can grow small plants in this throughout their life cycle. as long as they are small plants. but if you do change them into a bigger set up do it before the roots come out of the bottom of the individual 3inch net pots.

of course it falls apart, how else would you use it? It's a big hard cube that without water involved or an ax it don't come apart. First time I got it tried a gal. of rain water on it, nothing happened, 10 to 12 gal. is more like it. Needs plenty of space to expand or will get tightly wedged in container. Needs to be amended for anything other that starting seedlings, I add worm castings, compost, and minerals. Gardening will gladden and extend your life. Good luck.
