Moss is an inhabitant of damp and shaded forests, so we rarely encounter it in life and know little about this amazing plant. In fact, once upon a time it could have replaced medical bandage and show the way to lost mushroom pickers. Green home enthusiasts still use dried plants to insulate their homes. And we are more interested decorative side moss: can it be used in landscape design and grow it yourself in the country.

Mosses are unusual both in their structure and in their way of life. Unlike other dacha flora representatives - trees, grass, flowering plants– they do not have roots or flowers, but the outgrowths that replace leaves have a unique decorative effect.

A variety of colors, from bright green to red-brown, allows you to create unusual velvety lawns, decorate alpine hills and rockeries, “aging” brick fences, tree stumps and stone framing of ponds

The Japanese, who were attentive to detail, were the first to use moss in landscape design. They noticed that miniature thickets in a certain, comfortable environment for them live and develop no worse garden plants, and in some cases outshine them with their appearance.

Back in the 14th century, Japanese monks created the Saihoji moss garden, which, slightly modified, still exists.

Various types of mosses and lichens cover small islands, stones, tree trunks, and soil with a thick multi-colored lawn, creating an atmosphere of peace and quiet.

The tradition of using moss in landscape design spread to Europe, and then to other continents, to all regions where the climate is conducive to the growth of these special plants.

The most popular decoration technique suitable for summer cottage– creating a mossy stone that is part of a stone garden or rock garden. Half covered with green velvet, the stone takes on a completely different look - more ancient, mysterious, fabulous.

Mosses and lichens fit organically into the composition of coniferous forest trees: covering the lower parts of the trunks, they simultaneously protect them from drought and overheating

From the point of view of the possibility of decorating large and small forms, moss is universal. It perfectly ages statues, vases, fountains and garden sculptures located in the shade, but also serves as a beautiful additional protection for roofs of houses and gazebos. And of course, as a cover plant it frames garden paths, small flower beds, ponds and stream banks.

Secrets and rules of growing moss

If you are an experienced florist and have already learned how to grow flowers, care for lawns and harvest a rich fruit harvest in the fall, you can safely start growing moss and decorate with it. country decor or a fence.

Beginning designers can also grow mosses or lichens on their own, having learned the basics of caring for unusual representatives of the flora.

Where is the best place to place a moss garden?

As you know, moss loves partial shade and a large number of moisture, so before purchasing decorative species in the store or by harvesting them yourself in the forest, make sure that your country estate has an area that meets these requirements.

For example it could be small area coniferous or mixed forest in which pine, spruce, larch or fir trees grow.

As a rule, the branches of coniferous trees create the necessary partial shade, and the soil contains a sufficient amount of water. If a light pine grove is located on dry sandy soil, it is not suitable for growing mosses

The north side of a gazebo or building, where the sun shines early in the morning or late in the evening, is also suitable for creating a velvet carpet. A small amount of ultraviolet light can be beneficial - under the sun's rays, the peculiar leaves change color and acquire many interesting shades.

An excellent place for the first planting of moss is garden soil. From small fragments of mossy turf you can assemble an amazingly beautiful lawn, shimmering in different colors.

Moss pads can be planted both under the crowns of trees and in open but shaded areas - they form beautiful, unique appearance lawns

If a wetland is accidentally left at the dacha, moss can become the main decorative element to decorate it. In the center of the site there is a small pond with aquatic plants, and the banks of the reservoir and the surrounding area are decorated using various types bryophytes and lichens.

A scattering of moss-covered stones, a mossy old cracked jug, and a decorative boat with its nose buried in the soft mossy shore fit harmoniously into such an extraordinary landscape.

Shadow and moisture are not the only conditions successful growth of moss. Experienced florists recommend first studying the acidity of the soil. Ideally, the pH value should be between 5 and 6.5 units.

Preparation of plant material

So, we have found a site for the experiment, all that remains is to purchase the plant itself. We will not engage in growing moss with spores, but will immediately find adult plants - at least in order to immediately see the result. We have two available options:

• buy several decorative types at a flower shop;
• go into the forest and get samples yourself.

The first option is good because it will be possible to purchase species of different colors and growth characteristics. However, there is no certainty that they will quickly take root on your site, so be sure to ask the seller where and under what conditions the proposed specimens were grown. Purchased moss is fed with fertilizers and treated against diseases in order to better settle in after the move.

Plants from the nearest forest will most likely quickly get used to their new place of residence if it is similar to their previous place of growth. Where can you find moss in natural environment a habitat? First of all, in the nearest coniferous forest.

Select the types that you will use: if you decide to decorate a stone, remove the pads from the stones; tree moss will decorate tree trunks, and a green carpet covering the soil will be useful for decorating alpine slides and lawns

Moss thickets can also be found in the city. Visit old parks and squares, ancient architectural monuments with high stone fences, overgrown ponds - somewhere you will definitely come across a thick green carpet.

Try to find as many different species as possible, differing in height, shade and growing conditions - by experimenting with them, choose the most resistant plants suitable for your site

Choose mature, healthy specimens that are rich in color and thick. Do not pull up plants or cut off just the tops. The correct thing to do would be to dig up the pad from all sides and carefully separate it from the base.

Try not to damage the decorative top part and lower outgrowths. Carefully place the collected pads (pieces of mossy turf) into a basket with a damp piece of cloth at the bottom. After filling the basket, be sure to cover the samples so that they are not exposed to direct sunlight and the moisture does not evaporate ahead of time.

The nuances of proper planting of moss

Let's start with the fact that moss planted in the fall takes root much better. You can try spring planting, and then analyze the difference in the results obtained. Perhaps your conditions are ideal for spring work.

It is better to prepare the filler soil in advance. Make a nutrient substrate: mix in equal parts black soil and peat, add a small amount of clay and expanded clay. Peat and expanded clay will help retain moisture during dry periods.

If moss is found in a forest or on the shore of a lake, take the soil from the old place of growth - it will be ideal for adaptation to the new territory

• We take a bucket, basin or other convenient container, fill it with clean (preferably spring) water and lay the collected or purchased mossy turf in layers to replenish it with moisture before planting.
• If the place chosen for planting has become covered with leaves or overgrown with weeds during your absence, remove everything unnecessary so that you are left with a clean, “bare” patch free from thickets.
• We simply loosen the soil that matches the characteristics to a depth of several centimeters (up to 5 cm, no more), otherwise we dig a lot of mini-holes and fill them with pre-prepared substrate or soil brought from the forest.
• We plant moss pads according to the design thought up in advance - randomly, in stripes, in a checkerboard pattern. You can use pieces of the same color to assemble a single-color rug, or you can use multi-colored fragments to form patterns and ornaments.
• For subsequent growth and renewal, it is recommended to leave small intervals between planted islands.
• We make sure that the pieces of turf fit tightly to the soil, without leaving air gap. However, you shouldn’t press the plants too hard either.
• After planting, a fresh lawn must be watered, and subsequently ensure that the humidity is at the required level.

As you can see, the planting rules are quite simple. Let's look at a few more features.

When planting moss on alpine slide Additional initial support will be required to prevent pieces of turf from falling off. To secure them to the slope, we simply stick thin sticks (toothpicks will do) or pieces of wire. Later, when the moss grows in, they can be removed

On old stumps, only those specimens that were removed from a similar surface - rotting wood - will nest well.

On the contrary, if you find a beautiful, spectacular specimen in the forest on a rotten stump and want to decorate it with dacha composition, you will have to get an old stump, a felled log or a piece of wood with traces of rotting

Sometimes a smooth, mossy surface looks boring and monotonous. To revive the composition, we use partner plants. Suitable for residents of coniferous forests:

• ferns;
• horsetails;
• berries (lingonberries, blueberries, strawberries, blueberries);
• low flowers (for example, violets);
• any types of lichens, including reindeer moss.

These tips are good for mossy lawn, and now let's look at how to grow moss on stones. To do this, you will need a mixture of pieces of moss, water and forest soil. The listed components are mixed in a blender and then applied to the surface of the stone.

At first, additional care will be required. You can cover the stone with film for several days, arranging brief ventilation from time to time.

A scattering of stones looks beautiful and laconic against the background of a green carpet, but it is better to choose ordinary gray cobblestones rather than bright granite fragments

Sometimes a mixture is prepared on a biological basis. Add a little sugar, kefir, water to the mossy turf, beat it and coat the stone with a sticky mass. The products fix the plant particles and play the role of a nutrient mixture.

Instead of kefir, you can use yogurt or beer, and instead of sugar, any sweet syrup. This method is used to decorate not only stones, but also stone fences, brick buildings, and wooden fences.

At good growth moss on concrete, stone and wooden surfaces you can create graffiti, ornaments and “live” drawings from its fragments

How to care for mossy lawns?

Like any lawn, flower bed or moss grass requires regular care, which consists of moistening, thinning, renewal and basic cleaning. Moss grows quite slowly: the first young pads will appear no earlier than 4-5 weeks after planting. They will appear near the “parental” nests on all sides or in one direction, the most favorable for growth.

At this stage, you should adjust the size of the “mat” if you need it to be within strictly limited limits. Until the young shoots have grown, the plantings should be kept moist.

It happens that plants do not take root and die. It’s not scary: choose another species and plant it on same place. Sometimes moss dries out due to lack of moisture or strong exposure sun rays. Perhaps abundant watering will revive dried plants

Unlike a traditional lawn, moss grass does not require regular mowing. However, it is necessary to ensure its cleanliness. Forest debris will not only spoil the aesthetics decorative covering, but will also cause the death of moss or the appearance of unsightly “bald patches”.

It is very simple to protect a velvet rug from autumn leaves: spread a fine mesh over the entire lawn, and then simply roll it up along with the leaves.
