Don't mean to intrude, I've never posted in this forum before. I'm wanting to grow moss on some of the rocks and the tree stump around my pond. The area is shady and the ground is always moist, though the rocks are usually not. I've tried to mimic the conditions of the creek behind my house, where moss flourishes.

I harvested some moss from the creek, and put it in a bowl with a bit of water to make it squishy - then I added some plain organic yogurt and blended it. It was cake batter consistency, and then I painted it onto my rocks and stump.

Though, it dried by the time I went back inside. I know not to pour water on it, obviously, I'll wash the mixture off. But is it okay now that it's dried up? Should I go out and mist it a couple times a day with a squirt bottle? Will it really grow moss?

I can go and get more moss anytime I like, to redo it if I messed up the process. Thanks.
