Aye, growing moss is not for those with short attention spans. It takes months, even years.Ive heard of useing beer and moss in a blender and useing buttermilk and moss in a blender and painting stones and wood with the mixture . You just have to try and see what works for you. All of these take 3 months to a year to get going.
I agrre with Joost.
A tropical moss like Vesicularia dubyana (alias Java moss) can thrive on damp soil in a moist terrarium.
Conversely, some forest most like Polytrichum need a lot of natural light in an indoor terrarium, is spite of the fact you can find it in shady places ; and they don't like too high temperatures.
Even with a strong electric light, a terrarium may be very dark, compared to a floor under a real forest.
Tropicals need temperatures far too warm for a salamander or newt to remain healthy.
