Bonsai Moss — FAQs

Is this moss safe for bonsai trunks and roots?

Yes. Our moss is dye-free, pesticide-free, and selected to sit gently on trunks and surface roots without coatings.

How do I keep moss healthy on a bonsai?

Mist lightly 2–3 times per week and avoid direct harsh sun. Good airflow keeps the surface fresh and prevents buildup.

Which type should I choose — sheet or cushion?

Sheet moss gives a smooth, classic carpet; cushion moss adds rounded texture. Many growers mix both for depth.

How much moss do I need for a small tray or pot?

One sheet (~3.5” × 7”) covers a small 6–8” tray. Larger displays may need 2–3 sheets or a sheet+cushion mix.
