Live Feather & Sheet Moss for Terrariums, Vivariums, Bonsai, Reptile 1 Quart Bag

Appalachian Emporium's Live Feather & Sheet Moss contains 1 quart bag full of a mixture of live, fresh feather and sheet moss. This collection of moss works well in terrariums, vivariums or for transplanting and propagating. You will receive fresh moss, cleaned and neatly packed.  Also great for use on moss covered statues.  (See link below for great how-to article) 

Many reptiles are native to the area where this moss grows. Frogs and lizards do well in this moss. All our mosses are 100% natural with nothing added, no pesticides or chemicals are ever used.

You will receive a mixture of what we have at the time, so we are unable to fill special requests for a particular type of moss on this listing.

How to Cover A Sculpture in Moss

Transplanting and Propagating Moss

Lichen

These do not require any special planting. Simply place on top of your soil and mist with a spring water (or non-chlorinated) every few days. These do best when kept out of direct sunlight, especially during the hotter hours of the day.  Clean air is essential for these to live. They will not thrive in a smoky or contaminated environment.  Also note that these grow at a very slow rate, most only 1/4-1/2" per year, if that. 

Moss

Keep moss damp. Moisten every 3-5 days if inside.  Avoid full direct sun for more than 6 hours. Cooler morning sun provides the best results, with shade in the heat of the day.

Tip: Rain water can be caught in a vessel and put into a NEW CLEAN spray bottle for natural watering.

Succulent Care

Succulents do best in well-drained soil. The addition of grit or sharp sand will improve porosity & drainage.  After planting, water once a week. New plants should be well established in 5-6 weeks.

Visit the Cactus Succulent Society for very detailed care information. A great resource!

Mini-Terrarium Instructions

Place a small clump of moss in container first, then place the smaller lichen as preferred to fill in or add detail. Tweezers or a skewer can be helpful in placing and arranging. Water well then add a few drops of spring water (or non-chlorinated) every few days.

Seedling Care

Depending on the time of year, your seedlings may or may not have leaves. Care of the roots is most important at this time, keep them moist until time for planting.
