Fresh Live Carpet Moss | Component Grade
Imperfect moss ideal for garden projects, substrates, crafts or creating moss paint.
This component grade carpet moss is an affordable option for gardeners, crafters and moss lovers who are happy to do a bit of preparation. The moss is imperfect, with natural discolouration and patchiness as shown in the pictures, and will be sent loose in green garden sacks.
This is far from our premium moss range, this moss is highly recommended for projects where you have time to recover it or wish to use it in a way that is not showcasing the moss. Please see our other fresh mosses for thriving healthy moss ready to showcase on arrival.
You will receive the moss in a bag weighing approx 10kg
It may include bark, soil, grass and other natural elements from the harvesting process. The moss will need to be separated and cleaned before use. Though not suitable for premium displays, most of the moss you receive can be recovered with time and patience – perfect for sustainable and creative moss projects. See below for further examples of uses of the moss.

- How should I prepare the moss before using it in my projects?
- Begin by sorting through the moss to remove any excess bark, grass, or soil. Soak it in clean, dechlorinated water for 10 to 30 minutes, then gently squeeze out excess water and keep it damp for the best results.
- Can I use this moss for top dressing in potted plants?
- Absolutely! This moss works wonderfully as a moisture-retaining top layer in potted plants. It helps maintain soil moisture and adds an aesthetic, natural touch to your plant displays. Just be aware that this is our lowest quality moss, and so requires care and time to be brought back to full health.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Fresh Live Carpet Moss thrives in medium light environments. It prefers indirect or dappled sunlight, as direct sunlight can scorch the moss. A spot near a window that receives filtered light, or a shady area outdoors, is ideal.
💧 Water
💧💧💧 (High)
Carpet moss needs to stay moist to maintain its lush, green appearance. Regular misting or setting the moss on a water tray will ensure it gets the humidity it requires. During drier months, increase watering frequency to keep it hydrated.
💧️ Temperature
🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
This moss is versatile and can tolerate a range of temperatures typical of indoor environments. Ideally, keep the surrounding temperature between 10°C to 24°C to mimic its natural habitat.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
High humidity levels are crucial for carpet moss to thrive. It loves moist environments similar to its native woodland settings. Ensuring a humid environment will help keep your moss healthy and vibrant.
🪴 Repotting or Substrate
Carpet moss does not require traditional potting or repotting. Instead, ensure it is laid on a moisture-retaining substrate like soil or a moisture-rich wooden base for crafts. Regular checks for moisture and cleanliness will help maintain its health and appearance.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This moss is pet-friendly and safe for homes with furry companions. Ensure it’s kept out of reach if your pets tend to chew on plants, as the texture might be tempting for them.
🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Place your carpet moss in bathrooms, kitchens, or near humidifiers where the air is naturally more moist. It’s also perfect for terrariums, which replicate the humid, woodland conditions it loves.
💦 Air Purifying
While primarily decorative, moss can contribute to the air quality by trapping dust and toxins. However, its air purifying capabilities are less significant compared to other houseplants.
✨ Other Plant Features
Beyond its lush appearance, carpet moss is excellent for sound damping and can add a serene, natural touch to any space. Its ease of care makes it a delightful choice for both beginners and expert gardeners looking to add a bit of greenery with minimal fuss.

We’re a small family business with a big love for plants.
From our base in Aberdeen, we pack every order with care and love. Our small size means we can be flexible with special requests, and we’re always happy to help. We reuse packaging, craft our own eco-friendly products, and offer friendly advice whenever you need it.
Just what I needed and enough to cover 6 wreaths. Went for the budget friendly as it won’t be seen under the decorations
Brilliant value. This is the second bag I’ve bought, really good at raising the humidity around plants.
Hugh bag of moss, love it
