Threaded moss (Bryum moss, Sun Tolerant Moss)

Silvery thread moss, or Bryum, is a versatile and resilient moss commonly found in urban environments. This moss stands out with its bright green to yellowish-green, small, cushion-like tufts. It's a popular choice among landscapers and gardeners due to its ability to thrive in areas with moderate to full sunlight. This clump-forming moss grows up to two inches tall and can flourish in both sunny and shaded spots. It adapts well to various surfaces like soil, rocks, and even brickwork, making it ideal for growing adjacent to concrete, stone pathways, and in the cracks of sidewalks and walls. Its adaptability and resilience to pollution and trampling make it a favorite for sunny moss gardens, urban landscapes, bonsai arrangements, and open terrariums.

Container size: 16x12x4 cm. The moss may contain leaves, twigs, debris, or pests from its natural environment. It is advisable to soak the moss in water before use. Colours and sizes may vary due to natural conditions. The last four photos are examples only and not for sale.

Moss doesn't have roots and absorbs water directly from the air. It thrives in shady areas with acidic soil and requires consistent moisture without waterlogging. Place moss in indirect sunlight and mist lightly with dechlorinated or rainwater to keep it moist. For terrariums, use a covered container to maintain humidity and provide occasional ventilation. Trim brown or dead parts to encourage new growth and keep your terrarium clean.

To store moss: Use a clear-lidded container with a bottom layer of damp sphagnum moss moistened with dechlorinated or rainwater. Arrange the moss evenly on top, spritzing as needed to maintain moisture. Keep the container in bright, indirect sunlight, opening the lid occasionally for ventilation and misting if it starts to dry out.

To clean moss for a terrarium: Remove weeds, twigs, and debris, and trim any excess bits. Submerge the moss in dechlorinated or rainwater for 5-10 minutes to hydrate and remove pests and dirt, then gently squeeze out excess water.
