(When choosing which items to add to your basket please be aware of the difference in 5x5cm Moss: a carpet of moss. and substrate.)

If you want to attach moss vertically?
We sell moss stitched to 2 supports in 10x20cm carpets
- Hessian cloth for extra use which can be stapled to a tree! Or glued to wall with out hurting the roots! this allows the moss time to grow over its hessian cloth and new growth will attach naturally. Hessian cloth is biodegradable.
- Plastic mesh for interior use, terrariums living walls and moss art, the plastic mesh can be glued to glass or rock, or any supports, without hurting the mosses roots. And hey presto! you have an instant moss wall!

The erect stems may be very short when she arrives, but after a few weeks shoots are much more tree-like in the right humidity.

Check out our organic goat milk fertiliser pellets for moss!
Our pellets are made from full fat unpasteurized goat milk straight from the udder, mixed with red clay and dehydrated at 70 degrees. Our fertiliser pellets are perfect for terrariums, living walls, moss gardens exterior as interior. But of course this is an amazing fertiliser for all plants including roses, vegetables, pot plants etc.
Why is goat milk the best fertiliser for moss and other terrarium plants?
This is our secret to the beautiful moss we grow in our moss nursery, our ferns and succulents and orchids and other rock garden plants, in fact, our whole farm!
Like all plants, moss needs nitrogen, either gleaned from the soil and substrate or from water uptake. If your moss doesn’t get enough nutrients from rainfall or substrate a mild, organic fertilizer, such as one containing lactic acid from goat milk which non-protein nitrogen content is usually 5-8 % of total nitrogen. Signs your moss needs fertilization include spotty growth and poor color.

You will be receiving Climacium dendroides which has been dehydrated for shipping in a package bag. Mosses can remain alive even during periods of drought, resuming photosynthesis when moistened again by rain or even fog. All you have to do is spray generously the moss when it arrives and she will come back to life in a few seconds.

Our clay/Alfisols discs are inoculated with Climacium dendroides spores and mother plant which, once wet, will grow after 3 weeks into moss that then connect together into a carpet and spread from there. The benefit of growing from spores is 1- they grow and thrive in the environment, if terrarium or moss garden, or water feature 2- the clay/Alfisols discs can be molded into any shape once wet and will stick to any surface. You can also divide the discs as they are inoculated with thousands of spores. To give the spores the correct substrate 3 discs is equal to 30x30cm of the substrate, you simply mix the clay disc into the substrate and spread it into a 30x30cm carpet.

Climacium dendroides, Tree-moss, often grows in dence patches, with erect stems 2–3 cm tall, arising from the prostrate, usually hidden, rhizome-like primary stems.
The individual shoots resemble miniature palm trees, with rather rigid, stubby, yellow-green branches at the tip of the stems.
The erect stems may be very short when she arrives, but after a few weeks shoots are much more tree-like in the right humidity.
Leaves are about 2–3.5 mm long. The stem leaves are well-spaced and rounded at the tip; the branch leaves are narrower, acute, coarsely toothed near the tip and often have longitudinal folds; the leaf cells are elongated.
Capsules are rare because male plants appear to be much less frequent than females.

Your order will be packed safely and I'll send your International tracking number so you can follow your order travels to you :)

This carpeting plant looks amazing as a patch or propagated around you terrarium as single miniature palm trees.
When propagating this moss be carful to get the root with the branch as you separate it from the carpet.
Young branches with grow from the roots, so dont discard any piece or roots left over!
This moss survives dehydration through the summer months, this is why she ships very well overseas, we dehydrate our mosses for shipping and where she arrives just spray with water and she comes back to life within seconds.
The stems may be short when the moss arrives, allow the moss some time grow as she rehydrates in a moist environment before separating her.

C. dendroides is most frequent in damp places, especially where water levels fluctuate during the year.
In its favoured habitats it can compete well with flowering plants in short turf.
It grows at the edges of lakes and reservoirs, in dune slacks and turloughs (seasonal lakes over limestone), flushes, wet grassland, damp scrub and woodland.
It is sometimes found in drier, base-rich or sandy grassland. It occurs rather rarely as a colonist of gravel pits and damp colliery spoil.
