Do you mean acclimate the plant? Or reuse the current moss into the mix?
2 LikesI guess I meant acclimate, there’s no way to get the moss off the roots. I went ahead and added my other mix to it, I guess we’ll see how it goes. Fingers crossed!🤞🏻

1 LikeI buy several rooted cuttings that arrive in moss. I carefully pick off as much of it as I can without damaging roots with 6” long rubber tipped tweezers. 🪴🍀

Moss removes more easily when soaked so it’s super soggy. Any little wads left will rot the roots it surrounds
