Build a Moss Terrarium
published on 14th July, 2009

For all its soft sponginess, moss is clearly a staunch battle demon in the botanical domain. It’s genus is Bryophyta. That’s right, BRO-FIGHTA. To copulate, it indulges in some seriously slimy spore-n. And anything that flourishes in a gutter (hello Tupac, hello Fiddy) wins life.

Creating your own Moss Thunderdome is really rather simple.

1. Proceed to your local greenery ghetto (avoiding the neighbourhood sentinel and other do-gooders)
2. Scoop out that bad boy
3. Place moss into a pre-prepared glass crib, stroking its velvety down and burgeoning ego all the while.
4. Introduce some honey boos, to stick by moss through thick and thin.
5. Watch the action unfold.
6. Keep watcing – it might happen any moment now.
7. Snooze…

Apparently, moss’s secret weapon is its ability to slowly cover everything with its sameness. Even more like Fiddy than we thought.
