Neckera crispa has fan-like branches, which tend to project outwards from the substrate and upwards at the tip, and leaves with a very short nerve. N. crispa is the most robust, strikingly handsome moss which grows in large, luxuriant patches.
(stems often more than 4 cm and leaves more than 2 mm long).
It has glossy leaves which are undulate both when moist and dry, and turn brown with age.
The color of N. crispa, with brown older stems and green younger growth, differs from the pale green of other Neckera species.
Crisped Neckera stands out as a hanging moss because of its large size in the length of branches and its beautiful shining undulate leaves.
Normally found on limestone or other base-rich rocks and walls, usually in lightly shaded sites.
Where it grows on rocks, it may also grow on bark, for example on the base of old trees growing out of rock outcrops but also though rarely found in calcareous grassland. Which makes this moss quite excepting to most calcareous substrates.
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.
We sell Neckera crispa as a grown moss in many dimensions or as inoculated clay/Alfisols discs with spores and mother moss, we also sell the correct "Growing Substrate" for this moss.
If you want to attach moss vertically?
We sell moss stitched to 2 supports in 10x20cm carpets
- Hessian cloth for extra use which can be stapled to a tree! Or glued to wall with out hurting the roots! this allows the moss time to grow over its hessian cloth and new growth will attach naturally. Hessian cloth is biodegradable.
- Plastic mesh for interior use, terrariums living walls and moss art, the plastic mesh can be glued to glass or rock, or any supports, without hurting the mosses roots. And hey presto! you have an instant moss wall!
(When choosing which items to add to your basket please be aware of the difference in 5x5cm Moss: a carpet of moss. and 5x5 substrate: a growing substrate enough for a carpet of 5x5cm.)
You will be receiving moss which has been dehydrated for shipping, when she arrives just rehydrate her by spraying water on her, and within seconds she comes back to life.
Do have a look at my other dry moss, lichen and liverwort species for sale and buy a selection, terrariums and Paludarium.
Our clay/Alfisols discs are inoculated with Neckera crispa 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.
