Still spending money on potted plants? Grab a handful of moss and spread it in the pot, and what grows will be 10 times more beautiful than a pothos.
As more and more friends get into growing flowers and plants, people are increasingly unwilling to settle for the more ordinary and common potted plants. But anyone who has grown a lot of flowers and plants knows that many beautiful potted plants actually sell for very high prices. However, there is one kind of potted plant whose raw materials cost nothing at all, yet once made into a beautiful bonsai, its price doubles and doubles again: that is the moss potted plant! If you are interested, you can absolutely DIY one at home yourself, and once it grows out it is ten times more beautiful than a pothos, and it is a one-of-a-kind bonsai too.
The simplest way to grow a moss potted plant is to directly mash moss sheets dug up from outside into a paste, then mix it evenly with yogurt and spread it flat over the pot soil. Adding yogurt is to promote fermentation, so that the moss can grow lush and green. However, be careful to keep your technique and pressure even when spreading it over the pot, otherwise the moss that grows out will not look very good in shape. It is recommended that when growing moss, you choose a pot with more distinctive character, like the one in the picture below, and once it grows, trim it into a slight curve, making it look very much like an adorable little green hedgehog.
The advanced way to grow a potted plant is to make a moss ball. We can take out the plant prepared in advance the night before, carefully protect the plant's roots from damage, then spray the soil as wet as possible, so that the soil has enough moisture to make it easy for us to shape. Of course, if it is too wet or too dry, it will easily fall apart. Then we knead the soil into a ball shape, without disturbing the plant on top, and next wrap the mashed moss sheets as evenly as possible around the mud ball. After wrapping, use fine green thread to wind around the outer layer of moss the way you would wrap yarn, and then with normal care it will grow.
The last one is the high-level version. This kind of moss potted plant sells the best on the market and is also the most popular with children. However, the process of laying the soil is relatively more complicated. If you like this kind, you can also find some sand, gravel, stones and cute little objects to DIY it yourself. The specific method is the same as the potted plant method mentioned earlier, only figuring out how to create a staggered sense of layering at different heights requires some thought.
Do you think this kind of moss bonsai is beautiful? If you are interested, you can try making a one-of-a-kind beautiful potted plant with family and friends yourself, and you will not even need to spend money to buy one at the market. However, one thing to remind everyone: home-grown moss does not only like water. Keeping it moist and often giving it sun is the best way to care for it, otherwise the moss will also turn yellow or wither.
