hi, how would i go about growing java moss in a terrium? do i mist everyday? does it need to be humid?

I thought it was a fully aquatic plant.. You learn new things everyday.

Yeh, you'll have to keep it moist. You may have better luck if you have it 3/4 in water, the rest out. It grows/creeps out of water in several of the tanks at work.

Sorry if its a dumb Q, java moss cant be 100% in the water? Im asking cause i was planing on having it carpet around my pcs of driftwood.

Out in the sun... well, prob not. It'll have to stay moist. It's growing up the wood stands that hold the tanks at work, but with the way the tanks are against the wall, with the tanks kinda enclosed.

@West1 - java moss can be grown fully aquatic, I've also seen it grown not in water at all, but in terrarium conditions.
