Growing Stringy moss

Stringy moss according to me is one of the easiest moss to grow.It is one of the most beautiful moss, it grows upwards towards light in stringy manner creating a wonderful effect.The best part about this moss is that it is extremely undemanding and can grow in any given condition, even in a no co2 or DIY co2 tank it pearls.It can even be used as foreground plant and can even forms a carpet which is very east to maintain (lot better than hairgrass),just prune it every month.Following are the steps to help explain how to grow stringy moss.

You will need the following things:
1.Stringy moss (5 x 5inch is enough).
