Check out our organic goat milk fertiliser pellets for moss!
Our pellets are made from full fat unpasteurized goat milk straight from the udder, mixed with red clay and dehydrated at 70 degrees. Our fertiliser pellets are perfect for terrariums, living walls, moss gardens exterior as interior. But of course this is an amazing fertiliser for all plants including roses, vegetables, pot plants etc.
Why is goat milk the best fertiliser for moss and other terrarium plants?
This is our secret to the beautiful moss we grow in our moss nursery, our ferns and succulents and orchids and other rock garden plants, in fact, our whole farm!
Like all plants, moss needs nitrogen, either gleaned from the soil and substrate or from water uptake. If your moss doesn’t get enough nutrients from rainfall or substrate a mild, organic fertilizer, such as one containing lactic acid from goat milk which non-protein nitrogen content is usually 5-8 % of total nitrogen. Signs your moss needs fertilization include spotty growth and poor color.

A. alpina is a small moss forming reddish-brown to black cushions or patches up to 8 cm, but usually much smaller.
The leaves, which lack a nerve, are up to 1.5 mm long and have a very characteristic shape, being widest at or above the middle, narrowing to a relatively short, acute tip.
The leaves are appressed when dry, and erect when moist, with the tip above the widest part of the leaves somewhat reflexed from the sheathing base, giving the shoots a very neat appearance when seen from above.
Found on at least periodically irrigated rocks on crags, by lakes and streams and occasionally on drier boulders in humid areas.
It can form very large patches on shallow, stony soils where snow lies late in the year.
It is a predominantly montane species, but can occasionally occur at lower altitudes.
