Serissa + Elm

I just bought myself a Chinese Elm and recieved a Serissa as a gift! Wonderful gift the serissa and a wonderful buy the elm was also! The Elm I left outside under some protection I don't know if it really needs proection, I hear from everywhere that you just bury it into the soil and cover it with either peat poss or mulch. I just placed it semi off the ground and with a metal plat sitting ontop of two other plates kinda forming an incomplete pyramid missing one side. My serissa on the other had is another story. When I got it, Moss basically covers the ENTIRE surface. However there is one side of the surface that is broken and I just noticed that there is a little stub growing! I see leaves forming too soo exciting really! I've heard that moss is hard to keep alive and wasn't sure if I should even keep the moss or throw some away...But if I keep it how can I sustain the ground cover? I really want to maintain the grass like illusion.
