If you’re making your first terrarium or would just like to try a few different live mixed mosses, this little sampler is a good place to start.

You’ll receive at least 3 beginner-friendly varieties of live moss, packed together in an approximately 8 × 8 cm resealable bag, with care instructions to help you get started. That’s the size of the bag for the whole mix, rather than a separate bag of each variety.

The mix changes depending on the season and what’s growing well when I harvest. You might get different shades of green, little tufts or softer, spreading mosses. There’s no fixed combination, so each pack is a little different.

It’s a small sampler, handy for trying out different textures in a little terrarium, mossarium or fairy garden. This listing is for the moss and care instructions, rather than a complete terrarium kit.

I forage the moss in small batches from private land here in Gippsland, Victoria. I take a little from each area and leave plenty behind to keep growing. Stock depends on the weather and what’s suitable to harvest.

This is living moss, not preserved moss, so it will need moisture and ongoing care. Keep it out of direct sunlight and away from heat, and follow the care instructions included with your order.

A little about postage

I pack the moss in resealable bags to help keep the moisture in during its trip to you. I use eco-friendly packaging where possible.

Interstate orders go out Monday to Wednesday, and Victorian orders Monday to Thursday, to help avoid parcels sitting around over the weekend. Please check the listing for the current processing time.

I ship within Australia only.

The photos give you an idea of the mosses you might receive, but the varieties, colours and sizes will vary from pack to pack.

IMPORTANT: I DO NOT SHIP LIVE MOSS TO THE NORTHERN TERRITORY, WESTERN AUSTRALIA (WA) OR TASMANIA.
