Fresh Live Sphagnum Moss Mix Colours

Highland Moss Fresh Live Sphagnum Moss Mix Colours – a blend of naturally beautiful pinks, greens, and light browns. Sustainably sourced in the UK and completely chemical-free, this high-quality moss is trusted by leading names such as the RHS Flower Show gardens, BBC Gardeners’ World, and the London Zoo. Every batch is carefully harvested to ensure freshness and long-lasting performance, making it a reliable choice for both hobbyists and professional growers.

Why Choose Our Fresh Live Sphagnum Moss?

Our handpicked moss is a cost-effective and sustainable moss alternative to imported options. Ethically harvested from our exclusive sites in northern Scotland, this moss is collected before any forestry operations begin, ensuring minimal environmental impact.

✅ Natural and Authentic

This is a fresh, living moss product, collected directly from the wild and shipped in its natural state. Expect small woodland elements like pine needles, twigs, and leaves. These natural additions make it ideal for terrariums, reptile enclosures, and rustic-themed crafts.

This is the same top-grade British moss trusted by London Zoo, showcased in RHS Flower Show gardens, and featured on BBC Gardeners’ World. Though slightly more affordable than our colour-specific options, this mix offers the same vibrant freshness, high quality, and versatility.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium) – Fresh Live Sphagnum Moss thrives best in medium light conditions. It prefers indirect, natural light, so placing it near a window that gets filtered sunlight is ideal. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent drying out.

💧 Water

💧💧💧 (High) – Sphagnum Moss needs to stay moist to maintain its vitality. Water frequently to ensure it never completely dries out. Mist the moss regularly to keep optimal moisture levels.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average) – This moss prefers average room temperatures between 10°C and 21°C. Protect it from sudden temperature changes and extreme heat or cold.

💦 Humidity

💦💦💦 (High) – High humidity is crucial for keeping your Sphagnum Moss lush and vibrant. A humid environment mimics its natural habitat and helps it thrive.

🪴 Repotting

Repotting isn’t necessary for Sphagnum Moss, but ensure it is spread out evenly when used as a top layer or within a mix to maintain even moisture and air flow.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This moss is safe and non-toxic, making it pet-friendly. Feel secure knowing your furry friends can explore without risk.

🏠 Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Sphagnum Moss in bathrooms, kitchens, or other areas with natural, indirect light and higher humidity levels. It’s perfect for creating a mini bog moss garden as well as a potting mix component or to make your own moss poles, as well as a drainage layer in terrariums and much more – it is a very versatile plant!

🌿 Air Purifying

While primarily used for moisture retention and decoration, Sphagnum Moss helps purify the air by trapping dust and other small particles.

✨ Other Plant Features

Beyond its beauty, this moss is sustainably harvested, supporting environmental conservation. It’s versatile, perfect for a range of uses from terrariums to kokedama.

    Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.

    Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.

    The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
