For those with live terrariums how well has this moss held up? Is it still alive?

I buy moss from this supplier regularly. I've never had any problem with any of the species, including the two I've been shipped under the name "sheet-moss." I terrariums for sale, but the few I've kept or given to friends as gifts are all still going strong & many are well over 24 months old at this point.

When I received that I ordered online I soaked the moss for 15mins before putting it in the terrarium jars. The moss is all still alive and growing. It is starting to grow over the decorative rocks and our jars were only planted 1.5months ago. The layer of moss that we put in over the bottom rocks before the charcoal layer was the moss in a plastic wrap from Michaels. We soaked that moss also and it is green and we think it maght be alive...?

I don't remember if came with soil or moss. But I remember the plant came already dead! It was a waist of money.

I live in Homestead, Fl and mine are doing really well. I planted mine along my fence and 6 months time a few of them have quadrupled in size. They are doing much better than the honey suckle I planted.

I do not have live plants in my aquarium. I do have a 50 gal tank and it lights it very nicely. I love the moon light feature.

I would predict that you would see good results with the light. Mine is on an 8 gallon nano with some crypts, sprite, micro swords and Java Moss. Light is on typically 9 to 10 hours daily and I constantly prune the sprite. Using eco complete substrate and diy CO2.

Sorry, my moss began drying up, even though I sprayed it along with the plant, and I finally tossed it and put some shells in the hanger with the plant. I'd suggest either getting in touch with Hinterland or a local florist shop ... good luck!

Hi Mary. I used this moss in a terrarium and noticed that one kind was not doing so great. The others are large pieces and I had to make them smaller to fit. The sheet moss is the most quantity it covered a five gallon tank bottom by it self.

I would say it is pretty durable. I wouldn't wade through thorn bushes, but I think for everyday activities it does nicely.

I dont know moss types...but my assortment was great and has done very well. With any terrarium you plant, water and then dont mess with it. My moss is spreading and doing well. It was a good buy for me

I am in Michigan but I believe our zones are similar. I know this moss really enjoys low sunlight and tons of water.

Ours is holding up very well. We are using it for garden storage ... Pots, rakes, buckets.

To be honest I ordered this collection couple of months ago. To this day they have not made it to terrarium. They are in same pots and are doing just fine. I have them for now on my back porch in the shade and water as needed. I think they're great even though I didn't get any of the ones pictured.

I've had mine for about 4 mos and it is a great plant, however needs a lot of attention. Recommend that you don't put it outside right away as it will die in extreme climate changes. I would put it where it's mildly warm and move it back and forth from outside to inside for a good month and then have it outside for longer periods of time until you know it can handle the heat and humidity. Mine didn't like the hot outdoors so had to bring it inside for longer periods of time. It is too late in the season to have it outside so I will wait until Spring/Summer to try to have it planted outside permanently.

I have a marine tank and the few corals I have under it are doing fine so far. My macro algae is doing great and it's a high light demand species.

Honestly I love it, would even get the larger one as well, it is beautiful, low maintenance and I have real plants so really leave light on 24 hrs since I have had it with no problems. You should do a partial water change and filter clean every few weeks ( which I honestly do not do) but when I do, it cleans right away -sparkles.

I brought my gardenia inside about a month ago as outside night temps getting into the mid-thirties. I keep my house 68-70 in daytime and 58-60 at night. I don't have a grow light but keep it by a window that gets morning sun. It is growing like crazy, and I am pleasantly surprised. I thought it would probably die. Oddly enough, my asparagus fern which was outside as well, sits next to the gardenia inside and is throwing out new shoots almost everyday! I don't know what's going on but obviously they like it!!
