Dear Kathy Merrifield,
An efficient way to multiply some mosses is to take a handfull or
more and put it into the kitchen blender with some lokal water (not
from the tap). Spread the blended fluidum on soil (if it is one of your
local species), sit down and wait a month or two. Bonsai-fans love to
have green mosses to cover the soil underneith their plants, and they
use this method successfully.
The point is that if you need large quantities, you need to let your
mosses pass the protonema stage to allow the new gametophores to
adapt to the growth conditions you offer.
Good luck in your work.
Gert Steen Mogensen
