I’m trying propagating with moss the first time. But they just keep getting moldy. What did I do wrong?

If you have them covered, you do need to take it off every couple days to allow for air flow. I’ve never run into a mold problem with moss though…

Possibly the air flow of your living space?

Thank you! I’ll try to uncover them for a bit.

I would fill the container loosely with damp moss and then kind of tuck the nodes in a bit. Cover the container and let it air out for an hour a week. I uncover mine while I’m doing my big weekly watering.

Using filtered water can also help depending on your local water quality
