Many of you have expressed increased levels of interest in growing moss for landscaping in Houston. Our recent series of articles on this topic have been published with the intention of showing just how many different elements can be created with moss that will compliment any yard, garden, or outdoor architectural motif. While the design possibilities are truly endless, getting moss to successfully take hold in your yard can also be an endless chore of frustration if you do not seek professional assistance for the project. While this form of plant life is very ancient and primitive, it is not easy to obtain or cultivate like flowers, hedges, or trees.
Nurseries see little commercial value in growing moss for landscaping in Houston.
Additionally, moss does not grow from seeds, but rather from spores. It takes botanical expertise to understand how to get new plant life to emerge from a completely different reproductive cycle than that which most do-it-yourself gardeners are familiar with.
In most cases, it is even easier for professionals to transplant moss rather than to get it started from spores. Again, however, this brings us back to the difficulty in finding a source without the right professional channels to obtain, transport, and get it started in your back yard.
