There are so many mosses and so many ways to use them! Because of that, we have created an infographic that explains what our mosses are like, what they are best used for, and a little bit about where they come from. Whether you are crafting, creating a floral arrangement or terrarium, or you are gardening, this guide will help you decide which moss to use.
This guide is a great starting point, but don’t let it get in the way of your imagination! Everyday we are surprised at the ingenuity of our gardeners, crafters, and florists — we can’t believe some of the designs they share with us. So, if you see a way to use SuperMoss that we haven’t thought of yet, then lead the way! Who knows, maybe your project will be next in our showcase?
Let’s get started!
Will you please email a high res file of the moss chart so I can hang in our garden center. Thank you!
Let us get back to you on that.
Hey there, I love all the points you made on that topic. There is definitely a great deal to know about this subject.
If I bought one of your “SuperPole blind miss” moss poles, do I need to pre soak it?
You do not need to pre-soak your SuperPole. Simply place in the soil of your planter without harming any roots, and water your plant like you normally would!
I’m interested in using one of the moss varietals to top the soil of a living corn plant in a large planter as a decorative feature. Can I water through the moss? Is there one specific moss that you would recommend? The corn plant gets indirect sunlight indoors only.
Thanks!
Hi Laura! You can absolutely water through the moss! I’m assuming because its indoor there is not a lot of intense sunlight. That being said, I would usually recommend the sphagnum moss for its water retention properties. It can also be used to mix in the soil as an amenity for oxygen as well as the water retention. BUT, since its indoor you can basically choose any of the mosses that fit your design style and preference. There should be no issue watering through the moss, especially if you order in its “natural” form, as apposed to PRESERVED.
We are interested in using the Sheet Moss on the ground between pavers. The area does get intermittent bright light, but a lot of shade, also. Would the Sheet Moss work?
Hi Claudia, that is an interesting idea! Our mosses have been known to “respawn” in the perfect environment. But, we couldn’t guarantee that there would be regrowth and that it would spread. I would also be concerned with the amount of foot traffic that would be going on. Because the moss is technically dead, it would not have a good chance of recovering from being stepped on. Its a good idea, but I dont want to lead you in the wrong direction and you have to redo all that work. Keep in mind, a small path with little foot traffic would probably be fine.
I hope this is helpful! Please don’t hesitate to ask more questions!
hello. I literally love your site. I would love to get a copy of your moss chart…Thank You and enjoy your day:)
Hi Sandra, thanks for the lovely comment, we are so happy it helped! I’ll email the PDF over now.
