I’ve recently gotten into creating fairy gardens, with varying degrees of success. To make a fairy garden at all, you need to be able to grow moss. Lots of moss. And most of my moss is slowly turning yellow, which is not very magical at all. So, if you are struggling with your own fairy garden, or are thinking about adding moss to your garden, read this post by Moss and Stone Gardens for tips:
-Arpocarps: scoop up after a rainfall. Slide a flat blade or spatula under to collect it, along with a thin layer of soil. Water frequently to help with re-establishing it in a new area.
-Pleurocarps: can be collected by scraping, scooping, or raking, which will allow you to collect moss without the added weight of the soil.
