Maintaining My First Moss Forest

Hello, this is Moss Para.

Thank you for your hard work today. Thank you for spending your relaxing time on this note.
For those reading this in the morning, I hope you have a great day.

I am a person who makes moss terrariums.
I share information about what moss terrariums are like.

This time, I will be maintaining the "First Moss Forest" I created in the article above.
I made it on April 19th, so about three months have passed.
I misted it once a week and opened the lid for about five minutes every day for ventilation.
I am growing it using basic moss terrarium care methods.

This is what it looks like now, three months later.
The overall atmosphere has not changed.

If you look closely, the Leucobryum juniperum planted next to the mushroom house has turned brown.

The Plagiomnium acutum planted next to the stone has also turned brown.

New shoots of Plagiomnium acutum are coming out from the side, but they have also turned whitish and do not look healthy.

The other mosses have not changed and seem healthy.
I will perform maintenance on these mosses that have turned brown.

First, I will boldly cut off the brown parts of the Leucobryum juniperum.
You should cut off the parts of the Leucobryum juniperum that have turned brown.
New shoots will grow from the sides.
Cutting off the old stems encourages new growth.

I will cut only the brown parts of the Plagiomnium succulentum.
The green parts look healthy, so I will leave them as they are.
Sometimes new shoots grow from the cut parts, and Plagiomnium succulentum produces new shoots from various places anyway.

I will also use scissors to trim the Plagiomnium succulentum that has turned whitish.

I felt like there wasn't enough Leucobryum juniperoideum at the beginning.
I felt it lacked volume, so I decided to go ahead and add more.
I am introducing new Leucobryum juniperoideum.

I will grasp the Leucobryum juniperoideum with tweezers and insert it.
While holding it down with a rod like a micro spatula...

I will carefully pull out the tweezers while slowly releasing the pressure from my fingers.
At that time, I will hold the moss down with a rod like a micro spatula.

As for the Plagiomnium succulentum, new shoots were popping up here and there, so I will leave it as is without adding more.

Maintenance is complete.
I trimmed the brown parts of the Leucobryum juniperum and Mnium hornum, and since it looked a bit sparse, I added some more moss.
There wasn't a huge change, so I think this is enough.

If the Leucobryum glaucum, which is the shortest one, starts to grow taller, further maintenance might be necessary.

This time, I performed maintenance on a finished product from the "My First Moss Forest Set" that I sell myself.

Thankfully, I have been able to sell three "My First Moss Forest Sets" in one month.
Currently, there is only one in stock.
I use a glass lid, but it chips so easily over the smallest things.
Out of five, four have chipped. Only one remains.
Since it is a glass product, please be careful not to chip it.

As soon as I get more glass lids, I will increase the stock and look forward to delivering them to you all.
