In the dead of winter I threw some Java Moss into my 1950's style 2 gallon Metaframe tank OUTDOORS in shade. Today with 80% of the water evaporated I took a look..The moss was green and dense. No Co2 other than from mother earth. It's been growing in temps from the high 30's to the 70's.
You could grow it ponds- in shade.
