- 1). Locate a hospitable environment for your lichen. Moist, shady, isolated northward- facing places at the base of porous rocks and tree branches are recommended.
- 2). Fill the spray bottle with a mixture of one-half cup of yogurt and one-half cup of water. Saturate the area where you'd like the lichen to grow.
- 3). Spread the powdered lichen in the area you sprayed. Prepare the yogurt water formula again, and spray the powered lichen. Repeat treatments with the yogurt-water mixture every three to four days. Watch for signs of dryness, and spray at these times, as well.
- 4). Monitor your developing garden. Spores should appear within three months. If no spores appear, use a paint brush to apply seaweed fertilizer, and continue your spray bottle treatments.
- 5). Continue spraying until your lichen begin to grow, and enjoy watching your garden develop. Add water during times of extreme heat or drought to keep your lichen healthy.
