all about moss

A: Moss walls can last 7–15 years, and in some cases much longer, depending on the traffic pattern of your space. Lower traffic areas might not get touched or bumped into as much as a higher traffic area. Because preserved moss is treated through a natural preservation process using non-toxic substances, it maintains its shape, color, and softness over time without the need for water or sunlight.

A: Yes, our preserved moss is sustainably harvested and preserved without the use of harmful toxins or chemicals. Additionally, because they require no watering or sunlight, they are a low-waste and energy-efficient option for adding greenery to indoor spaces.

Although we do not harvest our own moss, we have a rigorous criteria for choosing where we get them from. We work with a number of producers around the United States, most of whom are family operated who have been maintaining forests and harvesting moss for decades. They are also extremely careful when harvesting moss to not disturb the local ecosystem’s balance. Same goes for our preserved florals and add-on selections.

A: Beyond its aesthetic appeal, moss serves as a powerful contributor to mental and emotional well-being. Numerous studies have showcased the positive impact of moss on mood, stress levels, and overall emotional health. The incorporation of preserved moss walls into indoor spaces has been particularly noteworthy in its ability to enhance cognitive function, alleviate stress, and contribute to an improved emotional well-being.

Research has consistently demonstrated that exposure to plants and natural elements, such as preserved moss, correlates with reduced stress levels and notable improvements in mental health. The calming and biophilic qualities of moss create an environment that promotes a sense of tranquility and connection with nature, thus fostering a positive impact on the overall cognitive and emotional health of individuals.

A noteworthy benefit for those with allergies is that moss is inherently hypoallergenic, offering a natural, allergen-free alternative for enhancing indoor spaces. However, it’s important to note that our moss walls are designed exclusively for indoor use and should not be exposed to water or direct sunlight. To ensure your mosses remain in optimum condition, follow these guidelines: avoid crushing, pressing, or folding the foliage, petals, or flowers; keep the moss walls out of direct sunlight; and maintain humidity levels between 30% and 80%.

By adhering to these recommendations, you can preserve the beauty of your moss walls, enjoying their lush vibrancy for years to come while creating a visually stunning and allergy-friendly environment within your indoor space.

The longevity of our moss walls hinges on several factors – human contact, minimal exposure to sunlight and humidity, and the inherent characteristics of each moss species play crucial roles in maintaining the walls’ integrity. This preservation process prioritizes the unique traits of each moss type, ensuring that their individual textures and vibrancy are not compromised.

This commitment to preserving the natural essence of moss, combined with the careful consideration of environmental factors, results in stunning, long-lasting installations that bring the beauty of nature into any space.
