Key Benefits
Fern Moss, woodland charm in every leaf.
*This naturally harvested moss may bring a touch of the wild with it (easily cleared through the rehydration process).
This luxuriously feathered sheet moss readily forms a thick and textured carpet layer across your terrarium floor.
Tough, resilient, and highly adaptable, this type of sheet moss is suitable for terrarium projects of all kinds.
We pride ourselves in responsibly sourcing our moss from privately owned forestland (never national parks), where only a small portion is picked at a time so that the moss can easily regenerate.

How do you care for Fern Moss?
This versatile sheet moss thrives in warm and humid terrarium conditions. For the full details, check out our Fern Moss Care guide.
How do you use Fern Moss?
This type of sheet moss can be laid out in large (ahem, sheets). Or, for faster growth/ground coverage, it can be cut up into much smaller pieces and placed evenly around the space.
Do I need to use the moss right away?
Though dormant moss can be stored in a dark, dry area for months, we recommend only doing this if it is completely dried. Make sure you remove it from the sealed bag to prevent mold, too. For best results, it’s always a good idea to use your moss sooner rather than later.
How to hydrate dried/dormant moss?
It’s a simple process! All you need to do is leave your moss to soak in water for 30 minutes and squeeze out the excess moisture. It’ll come out looking extra green and fresh.
Is this moss safe for use in reptile/amphibian enclosures?
This moss is organic, so you can be sure it’s harvested from a pesticide and fungicide free area. However it is still from a natural, and therefore non-sterile, environment. Many vivarium pet experts use sterile cultured moss instead to make sure there’s nothing unwanted/harmful brought in on the moss.
