Moss thrives in acidic soil and some terrarium websites suggest adding sulfur to terrarium soil to raise acidity levels. I have tried this in a few of my newer terrariums but have yet to see any difference in the growth patterns. I also sprinkled a few chunks of sulfur into the grandaddy wine jug terrarium and yet again have noticed no difference.
Has anyone tried this before and observed any positive or negative effects?

All I have to do is water it, I have well water which goes through a water softner that contains sulfur. ;)
ReplyDeleteNever thought of that before, though my water is fairly soft. I found this interesting discussion on optimum growing conditions for Mosses here:

Interesting they recommend Coco bedding.
