Give the moss a hard surface and keep it consistently moist. If it dries out just a bit, you will loose the moss. Therefore, consistent shade is better than too much sun.
Avoid too much lime and fertilizer, too. You will probably find that other plants who loves similar conditions will start to grow in the moss. Frequent weeding is therefore also a good idea.
