When it comes to moss i use it on my shohin outdoor trees to try and reduce water lost in summer on the smaller pots. On my larger bonsai i find that moss grows naturally and gives a great looking cover if you leave it to grow on it's own for a year. I've noticed it helps if you introduce a few small fragments of moss dotted around the soil surface; the spores in these settle and allow more to grow.
