Caring for Your Moss Wall
The amount of maintenance depends on the type of moss you choose.
Fresh Moss
- Lightly mist occasionally if the moss begins to dry, depending on the species and your indoor environment.
- Keep away from heating vents and direct sunlight.
- Provide good air circulation.
Preserved Moss
- Requires no watering.
- Dust gently with a soft brush or compressed air.
- Avoid excessive humidity or direct sunlight to help preserve its appearance.
Helpful Tips
- Always wear gloves when working with chicken wire.
- Choose untreated wooden stakes if you prefer a more natural appearance.
- Test your wall anchors before hanging heavier frames.
- Keep the finished planter away from areas exposed to constant moisture.
- If using live moss, select species suited to indoor conditions and follow their specific care requirements.
