Reply With QuoteAhh yes you can.
Ask a florist if they can source some for you, some of the old time florist still use it.
I can try some of my old sources, it will take a while I've been out of the cut flower industry for a some time now.

SubscriberI need to dip into the combined pool of Aulro knowledge...
My wife is wanting to buy some live moss for a garden project. Not a huge amount - probably about 0.25m2
She's phoned around a few garden centres, but no luck and no leads. Anyone know if its actually possible to buy it as a product?

You can also make it by painting Yogurt on a rock or something,, probably even a piece of wood could work. Keep it moist and cool.

Milk powder works too.
If you don't like trucks, stop buying stuff.
AT RESTyep me too, roof has it , must be possum tucker as they are always up there at night. Bloody stuff is slippery on the paving too, if you want moss whether you like it or not you get it in the hills.

SubscriberCardboard box, shredded newspaper, moistened with the garden hose... Roll up the moss. Sit it in the wet shredded paper and top it off with more of the same and then tape the box up well and post it. It'll be fine. We bought 70 Photina Robusta off Ebay. They came thru the post a few days later packed this way... No dramas at all! The other option is to cover a large rock in cow poo (in a shaded area) and keep it moist using the mist setting on a garden hose attachment. Moss will grow within a few months if your air is clean.

You can buy moss at almost all plant nurseries. You will find it growing atop the pots in cool damp areas along with the plants that you actually pay for. That said, do you really want moss? It needs lots of water and part shade? Are you actually after Scleranthus which looks, superficially, very like moss? See: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=s...w=1635&bih=817 Scleranthus biflorus is a native species and can be purchased at many nurseries. Sometimes called Cushion Plant or Knawel.

PS I note the apparent confusion between lichen and moss in some posts.
