I. myosuroides Is a full shade high humidity moss that grows on rock and acidic forest compost or peat moss and worm casts
I. myosuroides has a distinctly tree-like growth form, its main stems growing away from the substrate, unbranched in the lower part, and bushily branched above.
It grows in pure, dense mats, so its tree-like form looks like tiny umbrellas from above.

Check out our organic goat milk fertiliser pellets for moss!
Our pellets are made from full fat unpasteurized goat milk straight from the udder, mixed with red clay and dehydrated at 70 degrees. Our fertiliser pellets are perfect for terrariums, living walls, moss gardens exterior as interior. But of course this is an amazing fertiliser for all plants including roses, vegetables, pot plants etc.
Why is goat milk the best fertiliser for moss and other terrarium plants?
This is our secret to the beautiful moss we grow in our moss nursery, our ferns and succulents and orchids and other rock garden plants, in fact, our whole farm!
Like all plants, moss needs nitrogen, either gleaned from the soil and substrate or from water uptake. If your moss doesn’t get enough nutrients from rainfall or substrate a mild, organic fertilizer, such as one containing lactic acid from goat milk which non-protein nitrogen content is usually 5-8 % of total nitrogen. Signs your moss needs fertilization include spotty growth and poor color.

Our clay/Alfisols discs are inoculated with Thamnobryum alopecurum spores and mother plant which, once wet, will grow after 3 weeks into moss that then connects together into a carpet and spread from there. The benefit of growing from spores is 1- they grow and thrive in the environment, if terrarium or moss garden, or water feature 2- the clay/Alfisols discs can be molded into any shape once wet and will stick to any surface. You can also divide the discs as they are inoculated with thousands of spores. You can also divide the discs as they are inoculated with thousands of spores. To give the spores the correct substrate 3 discs is equal to 30x30cm of the substrate, you simply mix the clay disc into the substrate and spread it into a 30x30cm carpet.

Isothecium myosuroides often grows on inclined or vertical surfaces, with the stems and branches curving downwards.
Shoots are typically 1–2 cm tall. Stem leaves, especially towards the base of the stem, are about 2 mm long, broadly egg-shaped to triangular with a heartshaped base, rapidly contracting to a finely tapering tip.
Branch leaves are 1–1.5 mm long, narrower, triangularly spearhead-shaped, and taper to a shorter but still slender, rather sharply toothed tip.
The single nerve ceases above mid-leaf. Capsules are 2– 2.5 mm long, frequent in some regions, elliptical, slightly asymmetrical and inclined.
The lid has a long beak.
