Is this living moss or preserved?

Scott, this is living moss. It's dry when received, but just add water and it comes to life!

Well I don't really know since I was under the impression that preserved moss is still alive? But to answer your question, it is dried upon arrival, and then you get it wet to make it plush and green again.

So far it seems to be! I have only had it since last summer. It lived on the deck in it's original pot until around October. From what I have read it can be outside in temps as low as 15F at night so watch the weather. For the winter I moved it into an unheated garage. It looked like a little twig all winter but perked right up when I put it outside in the spring! No fruit so far but we'll see.

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. :)

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 don't know about Kyoto moss specifically. When I received the Live Moss Assortment package--very well packaged, by the way--I just placed fragments of the mosses measuring at most 2-3 inches on my layers of media, added a few miniature plants, and sprinkled a bit of water on everything. Then I put the lid on the container, and have never rewatered the terrarium again since October!

I'm not sure but this moss is dried so will not spread as live moss would. The case of moss should cover a fairly large area.

Its a blend of different kelp and moss. It takes about a week to feel a difference

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

This plant comes in a mix of spoil and sphagnum moss. They're very easy to care for- give it decent sun and water it every day. That's really one of the only ways to kill this plant, is to forget to water it. You don't have to feed it bugs either it catches them on its own. I ordered from these guys months ago and I still love my lil pitcher!

It is packaged wrapped in tissue if I remember correctly. It has been a strong, healthy plant for me for over eight months. I also received instructions on how to care for it.

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.

Yes but only some of the types. The others would be better for a moss garden. My order was great all the moss is doing very well. It sounds like a great idea I think you need a compact and durable type of moss. Like the moss that grows were people walk. Good luck Wesley.

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.

The wood is well-sealed. That said, I wouldn't leave anything wet on it for long because I think you'd get water rings.

Ideally they tell you to take out the air plant and soak it upside down in a little bowl. However the moss that comes in it can just be sprayed with a bottle. This is a great gift for anyone and it is inexpensive. So I would say get it, spray it with a water bottle, and if the air plant dies you can always get another or fill it with non living things. Like rocks! The glass enclosure is very attractive in a home or office!
