Winter is the time for a indoor moss garden!
Posted by Jim Fucetola on
Creating a tabletop moss garden is a great way to bring some fresh, green biophilic elements into your home during the cold winter months. Not only is it a fun and easy activity to take on, but it also makes for a beautiful centerpiece in any room.
The first step in creating your tabletop moss garden is to choose the perfect container. A shallow dish or tray works well for a tabletop garden, as it allows the moss to spread out and create a lush carpet of green. You can also opt for a clear container, such as a fish tank or terrarium, to showcase the moss from all angles.
Next, you'll need to prepare your growing surface. Moss prefers to grow on a natural surface, such as a piece of wood or a rock. If you're using a container without a drainage hole, be sure to add a layer of gravel or small rocks to the bottom for drainage.
Now it's time to add your moss. Moss Acres offers a variety of moss options, from sheet moss to cushion moss, so you can choose the perfect type for your tabletop garden. If you want to make the process even easier, our DIY Tabletop Moss Garden Kit comes with everything you need, including a selection of moss varieties, a container, and a growing surface.
Once you've added your moss, it's important to keep it moist but not wet. Mist it with water every few days, and be sure to keep it out of direct sunlight. Moss prefers cool environments with indirect light.
It's also important to keep in mind that moss is a slow-growing plant, so it may take a few weeks for it to start to take shape. Be patient and enjoy the process of watching your indoor moss garden come to life.
