Grow Your Own Graffiti Moss
Originally created by horticulturists keen to add interest to their garden designs, this recipe for moss can be used as an environmentally-friendly alternative to spray paint.
RECIPE
You will need a blender to make the mixture and if you plan to grow your moss outdoors you will also need a seed tray filled with compost.
- Several clumps of moss
- 1 pot of natural yoghurt or 12oz buttermilk (experiment to see which works best)
- 1/2 teaspoon of sugar
- Plastic pot (with a lid)
- Paint brush
- Spray-mister
Seemingly, getting the recipe to work can be quite difficult, the location and weather conditions need to be spot on. Moss thrives best in damp areas so if you have to grow it indoors make sure you spray it with water frequently. As soon as it starts to grow, transplant it in your chosen location and watch your graffiti art spread.

Could someone please post some info on how to actually do this?
What do you do with all these ingredients? Just put them in a blender? The directions say,
“As soon as it starts to grow, transplant it in your chosen location and watch your graffiti art spread.”
Do I paint out what I want indoors and then just try to stick it to the wall once it starts to grow? What kind of moss is this? Is there a good place to find it?
