Operation: Open the package, check humidity, and take photos.
Quick Inspection: Flat and dry; grayish but not yellowish.
Avoid: Long soaking, sealed storage without ventilation.
Wake-Up: Wet the moss thoroughly with a spray bottle and let it sit for 2–3 minutes.
Place: Bright, indirect light, away from direct sunlight or heaters.
Planting: Place the moss on a clean substrate (volcanic rock, bark, or sphagnum moss), spray 1–2 times with a fine mist, and air it out for 10–15 minutes.
Goal: Revitalize the moss and display its green color.
Watering Rhythm: Rolling = Spray; Laying = Pause. Beginners: Lightly mist every other day.
Inspection: ✅ Greener, no odor; ⚠️ White fuzz/condensation → Reduce watering and maintain ventilation.
Goal: The moss should acclimate and stabilize within the first week.
Light & Ventilation: If the light is too dim, move closer to a window; if it's too humid, increase ventilation.
Design: Experiment with various scenarios and cover the moss wherever you want.
Adjustments: Fix small gaps by pressing moss scraps together to create a natural covering.
Goal: A more uniform appearance, with the moss blending seamlessly with its surroundings.
Pruning: Remove yellowing or rotting areas and keep the moss neat and tidy.
Mixing: Use live moss in key areas and preserved moss in the background if needed.
Goal: Stable growth, minimal mold, and an overall neat appearance.
Watering: Mist every 3–5 days and ventilate the area afterwards.
Lighting: If natural light is insufficient, supplement with LED lighting (8–10 hours per day).
Inspection: Remove fallen leaves or algae and keep the substrate aerated.
Expansion: Plant healthy moss in an open area. Expect new growth within 2–4 weeks.
Goal: Achieve a long-term, stable display with minimal maintenance (mist once or twice a week).
