Whether you’re crafting a closed terrarium, decorating a moss wall, or building a natural vivarium habitat, this moss brings colour, structure, and softness to any space.

Each pack includes a variety of cushion moss and sheet moss for depth and contrast. Moss is gathered by hand, so natural variations in colour, texture, and size are expected. You may also notice small pieces of bark, pine needles, or twigs, which are part of its authentic woodland character. No chemicals or artificial treatments are ever used.
To keep your moss in top condition, we pack it in reusable zip bags that lock in moisture and keep moss fresh for a very long time. These bags are perfect for propagation, seed germination, and other botanical projects, and can be reused again and again.
🪴 Moss is shipped using recyclable and reused materials to protect freshness during delivery.

Welcome to Your Easy Care Guide for Fresh Live Moss Terrarium Vivarium Selection
Delve into the lush world of mosses from the Scottish Highlands with our Fresh Live Moss Terrarium Vivarium Selection. Perfect for various indoor and outdoor gardening projects, this moss brings a piece of the serene Highlands into your home.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
Moss thrives in indirect or filtered light, making it ideal for spots that don’t receive harsh sunlight. A north-facing window ledge or a spot illuminated by ambient artificial light is perfect.
💧 Water
💧💧💧 (High)
Keep your moss moist by regular misting or soaking. Moss loves a damp environment, so don’t let it dry out. Soft, dechlorinated water works best to prevent any browning of your moss.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Moss is quite adaptable but prefers cooler to average home temperatures. Aim for a range between 10°C and 24°C for optimal growth.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
High humidity is crucial for maintaining the vibrant colour and lush texture of moss. A humidity level around 50% or higher is ideal. Regular misting helps achieve this, especially in drier environments.
🪴 Repotting (or substrate info for moss/creatures)
Our moss doesn’t need traditional repotting. When using it in terrariums or mossariums, ensure it sits on a suitable substrate like our specialist terrarium soil, mixed with sphagnum moss for moisture retention.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
Completely safe for pets! Moss is non-toxic, making it a wonderful choice for homes with curious cats, dogs, or other small animals.
🏡 Recommended Locations at Home
Moss looks fantastic in bathrooms due to the higher humidity, or any well-lit kitchen, living room, or study where its serene green can add a touch of calm.
🌿 Air Purifying
While moss isn’t known for its air-purifying abilities like some other plants, it certainly helps in maintaining a balanced humidity level, which can contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
✨ Other Plant Features
Our Fresh Live Moss is not only a visual treat but also a tactile one. Its soft, lush texture makes it a delightful sensory addition to any space.
