Q. HOW MUCH MOSS DO I NEED TO COVER X SQUARE FEET?
A. Each product page has general tips on how much to use per square foot. The two most common mosses for walls are: Reindeer Moss, Mood Moss, and Royal Pool Moss. Allow for 1 lb of Reindeer Moss per Square Foot, 1/2 lb of Mood Moss per Square Foot, and 3/4 lb of Royal Pool Moss per Square Foot.
Q. HOW LONG WILL THE MOSS LAST?
A. Longevity depends on how it is handled and where it is used. Exposure to the elements such as the sun, UV light, and heat will cause color fading and shorten lifetimes of natural products.
Q. DO YOUR MOSSES HAVE CHEMICALS?
A. Our color-enhanced and preserved mosses use non-toxic preserving agents that are GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) for color enhancing and typical human use. They are safe for people, pets, and plants. If you’re looking for a completely preservative free products, you’ll want to stick with our dried moss products.

A. Color transfer and color bleeding may occur under certain conditions. Use caution to protect surfaces and fine finishes especially in high humidity conditions. Colors maybe be removed easily with standard cleaning solutions.
Q. HOW DO I CARE FOR THE MOSS BIRDHOUSES & BASKETS?
A. Our moss birdhouses and baskets have a preserved moss and don’t require any specific care or maintenance. They will last longer if kept out of direct sunlight and under some cover from the elements. They are made of moss, wire, wicker, and rattan. When left outside, the structural integrity will last years, however please expect the color to fade to a more natural green in the sunlight.
Q. ARE YOUR PRODUCTS SAFE AROUND PETS?
A. Our moss products are historically safe around large pets and our natural products have no issues whatsoever. For pets in terrariums, we recommend the non-preserved and naturally dried mosses. The only product that we specifically do not recommend for pets is Wolfen Lichen.
