How long does a moss installation last?

Preserved moss art is designed to last indefinitely with the right care. The moss undergoes a natural, non-toxic preservation process that maintains its earthy color and soft texture without the need for water or sunlight.

To ensure your moss installation remains beautiful, it’s important to keep it in a cool, dry space, away from direct sunlight and high humidity.

What is preserved moss?

Preserved moss is a type of moss that has been specially treated to maintain its natural texture and appearance for long periods. The preservation process involves replacing the moss’s natural moisture with a non-toxic, vegetable glycerin-based solution, allowing it to retain its color and softness without the need for water or ongoing care.

Once preserved, the moss becomes stable and can last for years, maintaining the look and feel of living moss. However, it is important to protect your moss art from excessive sunlight, rain, humidity, or mechanical damage, such as crushing or pulling, to ensure its longevity. To preserve its beauty, avoid placing your moss art in direct sunlight or damp environments.

How should I best care for my moss installation?

Caring for your preserved moss art is simple and low-maintenance. To keep it looking its best, gently clean your moss artwork with cool air on a low setting, like from a can of compressed air or a blow dryer on the lowest heat. Don’t worry if a few small moss pieces fall off during cleaning—it’s totally normal!

For the longest-lasting beauty, keep your moss art in a dry area with moderate humidity. It’s best to avoid places with high moisture, like bathrooms or kitchens, but otherwise, your moss will thrive in most indoor spaces.

Lastly, while preserved moss doesn’t require much attention, try to avoid heavy traffic areas or places where it might get bumped or crushed. Otherwise, your moss art will continue to bring nature's touch to your space for years to come!
