Cypress-Leaved Plait Moss (Hypnum Cupressiforme) – A Versatile Carpet Moss
From: £7.00
Delve into the natural charm of Cypress-Leaved Plait Moss, a versatile and visually striking moss celebrated for its adaptability. Its slender to medium-sized shoots, typically about 2 cm long, feature strongly curved leaves that taper to a fine point, adding a delicate yet dynamic texture to any setting. The shoots display a vibrant green hue, with older parts tinged in warm, brownish tones, contributing to its rustic appeal.
This moss is perfect for eco-gardeners and botanical enthusiasts who appreciate both beauty and biodiversity. Frequently producing capsules with a characteristically beaked lid, this moss is not just visually appealing but also supports a variety of other plant species in its ecosystem. Whether it’s growing on acidic to slightly base-rich bark, siliceous rock, decaying wood, or rocky terrains, its ecological adaptability makes it a valuable addition to any garden or moss collection.
Use Cypress-Leaved Plait Moss to cover tree trunks, decorate garden rocks, or enhance shaded garden beds. It’s also ideal for terrariums or mossariums, as a soil topper, or as part of a creative project, bringing a touch of nature into any environment. Caring for this moss is simple: indoors, maintain high humidity and shade by misting frequently to keep its delicate leaves hydrated. Outdoors, plant it in shaded areas with moisture-retentive soil to replicate its native growth conditions.
Embrace the beauty and ecological benefits of Cypress-Leaved Plait Moss and transform your green spaces into a lush, vibrant, and educational haven.

Cypress-Leaved Plait Moss (Hypnum Cupressiforme) – A Versatile Carpet Moss
Moss not great quality, full of pine needles nearly more pine than moss.
Also since putting in my prop box it hasn’t bounced back vibrantly, as other moss I’ve bought in the past from other companies has.
Hi Adam,
Thank you for your feedback, and I’m really sorry to hear that you were disappointed with the moss you received.
We take great pride in the quality of our products, especially our moss – it’s one of our core specialities, and we were delighted to supply five gardens at RHS Chelsea this year (four Gold medals and one People’s Choice Award!). So it’s surprising and disappointing to hear that your order didn’t meet expectations.
We always include a little extra moss to account for natural variation and are very careful with our quality checks. Cypress plait moss often grows alongside pine, so a few needles can naturally appear, but we take time to remove the bulk of it without damaging the moss itself. It’s possible that transit caused some movement, especially if the parcel was handled roughly.
We’d love the opportunity to make this right. If you could email us at contact@highlandmoss.com with a couple of photos and let us know how long the moss has been in your prop box, we’ll do our best to help and ensure you receive the high standard you expected.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Craig at Highland Moss
Vibrant fresh product
