Is the moss artificial?

Not at all. Mine is growing healthy and still looks gorgeous. Its very important to keep it watered. Show it some attention and it'll stay healthy and be just like the picture. :)

Looks real to me. Mine is still going n growing. Receive compliments from guests on it. It's pretty.

We live in a community greatly over-populated with blacktail deer. I have some Irish moss planted from purchased starts and find that the deer do graze on it, but it doesn't seem to bother the plants. It just keeps them nicely trimmed. It is apparently not a very attractive plant to deer, and I suspect that in an area where the deer are not so dense, they wouldn't bother it much.

I used to take mine out to water it but I found a spray bottle works well too. It gets a layer of film on the bottom after a while but that's really the only issue with a spray bottle. Just make sure to keep the moss moist and give it lots of sun and it'll be just fine.

Yes it will just the same as if it were grass. This blade will cut your grass very low and do a fairly good job of getting the moss too.

I believe the label says to avoid ornamental plants. It does stain your grass a dark color but the grass returns to its green color after a few weeks. The product does kill the ground moss though. It was dead the following morning.

Brian, I am trying to make the same bath mat, and was checking this out for the same reason. Did you ever get yours done? Did you end up going with this moss?

I used it on evergreens. It would seem to me that it would work on moss but the color might be a little too bright a green for moss color. It is definitely a true green - not a yellow-green or "moss" color. It did work beautifully and with all of the rain we have had it has held up very well - no fading.

yes but also put down granulated lime at the same time, moss does not like lime. And clover does. if very shady clover may not take clover likes at least half a day sun

If you toss three cinder blocks on the shelf, it will split and scrape up moss with no problem at all. Just go at the lawn in two or three different angles that cross each other. I had an area that was so matted down it was going bald, as well as moss, and it de-thatched and aerated both areas very well.Three cinder blocks and put the unit on its lowest setting and it will make you happy.

I live in north Texas. I have tried to grow moss in open air here but it has always died, no matter how much I misted and watered. I could never find the right combination. I think it is too dry and hot here for most of the year. My moss collection lives indoors in a medium sized turtle bowl capped with a clear plate. I remove the plate occasionally to release the excess moisture, and I rotate the bowl a quarter turn once a week. The air temperature inside doesn't get above 85 degrees F. The moss is still alive and healthy, and growing. I think most mosses seems to like cool wet climates. That's all I can tell you.

Moss is nonvascular so it breaks up easily! They give you a large variety of sizes so that's good too... Also, I had a bit of trouble keeping the more exotic ones alive, so do some research online :) Hope this helps.

It doesn't stay together. I can fill my trays or pots with as much or little that I need. This is not a moss, but a dried brick of grounded up coconut husk. I just love it as it is a pure starter soil.

I sell this moss assortment. I am assuming you mean an aquarium without water. Many of my customers have told me that they planted these in an old aquarium, along with other plants and were very happy with the results. The main thing is to keep the moss lightly damp and do not over-water. Also be sure to keep out of direct sunlight.

I've only used regular soil, but the moss does like more enclosed terrariums. It's not doing too well in an open pot. (I'm using it in 3 different containers)

The moss I received from the mail was a very small patch & looks nothing like the picture. It looks brown and almost dead. I could have gone out to the woods and dug some for myself. A waste of time and money.

I have two cats and they never touched it. They often would lie NEAR the container with the moss but they never ate or touched it. So I didn't have any issues. If however you are hoping that the moss would make a comfortable cushion for the cat with less mess than dirt, I don't think it would cause any harm to the cat but I would question if your cat would really appreciate the modification to their current bed.

You can pull the moss apart into whatever sizes you want. That's what we did with all sizes of terrariums and the moss didn't seem to mind at all. It's beautiful moss.
