Fresh Live Feather Moss – Green and Versatile

(21 customer reviews)

From: £6.00 Please select an option before adding to cart.

We pick our feather moss in small batches from our local private working forests. At these locations the moss can be destroyed due to the forestry operations, so we find a new life for it. This is a beautiful moss with feather-shaped strands that will grow beautifully in your terrarium or vivarium.

Your feather moss may be one or more of a few different species which all commonly grow together or in similar conditions:

  • Glittering Wood Moss (Hylocomium splendens)
  • Common Tamarisk Moss (Thuidium tamariscinum)
  • Common Hook Moss (Cratoneium commutatum)

This moss is also often known as fern moss, silky forklet moss, glittering wood moss orย stairstep moss.

To keep your moss happy it will enjoy lots of humidity but it isn’t too fussed about a lot of light. It will fare well in light, but shouldn’t be exposed to prolonged periods of direct sunlight.

Description

This vibrant moss features bright, yellowish-green to dark green shoots that form soft, loose mats, making it a striking addition to any natural setting, terrarium or as a soil topper. The moss is known for its distinctive, fern-like appearance, with delicate, feathery branches that create a lush, carpet-like texture.

Key Features:

  • Color: Ranges from bright yellow-green to dark green.
  • Size: Grows 5โ€“25 cm long, forming beautiful, loose mats.
  • Structure: The moss is tripinnately branched, giving it a fern-like, layered look.
  • Leaves: Small, heart-shaped or triangular leaves cover the stems, adding to its textured appearance.
  • Growth: Prefers neutral conditions and thrives in woodland soil, hedge banks, and damp grassy areas.

Ideal for adding a touch of natural greenery to your terrariums, garden beds, or woodland-themed landscapes, this feather moss is a versatile and low-maintenance choice. While it rarely produces capsules, when it does, they appear in autumn and winter, adding an extra layer of seasonal interest.

Bring a piece of the forest to your space with this unique, easy-to-care-for moss.
