However the pots that I use and the water are not treated in any way. You should be able to sterilize soil at home by baking it. Here is a website that I found with some recommendations for heating. <BR/>http://www.healthrecipes.com/soil_plants.htm<BR/>Even with those precautions I do have pots that are overrun by mold or some type of fungus. I usually rescue the plants from the pot that look healthy, grind them up and move them to another pot.<BR/><BR/>Additionally I would recommend some type of grow lamp to encourage the moss to grow and perhaps having the lid a little loose would help as well. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck and I am glad that you enjoy the blog.<BR/><BR/> :) JessicaJessica M.

I have been trying to grow mosses in my back yard for the last year but so far its been with mixed results. I noticed that you are able to grow mosses in sealed containers - I tried that a while back also but had limited results - the moss just seemed to get kinda lifeless after a while and eventually developed a mold. What do you use to inhibit the mold from forming? <BR/><BR/>Anyhow, great blog! <BR/>PatrickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
