Feather moss vs cushion moss — which do I need?

Feather moss spreads flat and feathery, ideal for covering large terrarium floors or woodland-style scenes. Cushion (bun) moss grows in rounded clumps and holds its shape, better for bonsai bases or accent pieces in small containers.

How do I care for live moss?

  • Light: bright, indirect light — no direct sun, which scorches moss.
  • Humidity: moss thrives at 80%+ humidity; closed terrariums are ideal.
  • Water: mist 2–3 times a week in open containers; closed terrariums need far less, sometimes only monthly.
  • Temperature: most UK-native mosses prefer 10–24°C.

Can live moss survive in a closed terrarium?

Yes — closed terrariums are one of the easiest ways to keep moss alive, since they hold humidity naturally and need minimal watering once established.

Does moss need soil?

No. Moss has no roots and absorbs water and nutrients through its surface, so it can sit directly on substrate, rock, or wood.
