Moss propagation generally uses spore propagation or vegetative propagation. Spore reproduction refers to the sporophyte absorbing water and nutrients in the matrix through its germinated gametophyte. When mature, it will be emitted from the spores it produces for reproduction. There are three methods of vegetative propagation, namely "hole planting", "slice planting" and "stem cutting". Pay attention to removing weeds from moss in its early stages of growth. There are three ways to make homemade moss at home, namely the moss application method, the moss application method and the inoculation method.

1. How to propagate moss

Spore propagation: Bryophytes are relatively short and do not bloom themselves, so they have no seeds, so they generally use spore propagation. A sporophyte usually produces a capsule, which germinates to form gametophytes, which are usually attached to the gametophytes. The gametophyte grows on the substrate with filamentous rhizoids and absorbs water and nutrients. The sporophyte uses the gametophyte as an intermediary to absorb nutrients. When the sporophyte matures, it will be released from the spores for reproduction.

Vegetative propagation: There are three ways of vegetative propagation. The first method is "hole planting", which refers to planting five or six plants in a hole and planting them at a certain distance from each other. The second way is to "plant in pieces". Place pieces of moss on the prepared soil, press it slightly, and then sprinkle some water. The third method is to "cut the stems". Because moss has a very strong growth ability, it can be cut into sections, sprinkled evenly on the land, and then covered with a thin layer of soil.

It should be noted that when moss is first planted, its competitive ability is very low and it is easily attacked by other plants, so it must be weeded frequently. After the moss is densely covered on the surface of the substrate, weeds will no longer be invaded.

< p> Moss sticking method: Take some moss back from the park or nursery, be careful to retain some of the original soil, put it in a flower pot, and press it gently to make the moss and pot soil surface fit. Then spray some water on the surface of the moss to keep the environment moist.

Mossing method: Move a piece of sand and gravel from the river or pond, place it in a moist and cool place, and spray water once a day. It is best to use stored rainwater or rice water. When the temperature is high, you can spray water twice a day. Moss will appear in about four or five days.

Inoculation method: Prepare the soil first, add water to dilute it, and stir it into a thick consistency. Then mix the moss into the soil and spread it on the wet stone. Spray water once a day, and you can usually see moss growing after five or six days.
