Great Question!
- Moss is a non-vascular plant that absorbs water and nutrients mainly through their leaves and harvest carbon dioxide and sunlight to create food by photosynthesis!
- Fun Fact: Moss was the first plant on earth was formed after brave "ALGAE" creeped up on the shore.
- Irish moss seeds are tiny but they grow and bloom the most beautiful little white flower.
- This moss is one of few mosses that grow with seeds (most grow from spores).
Sphagnum Moss:
- We use multiple sources of Sphagnum moss that is farmed sustainably from USA. The mix we have made can hold 20x its weight in water!
- Sphagnum Moss has been used for thousands of years to lower PH in your soil.
- This type of moss has antiseptic properties & was used as bandages to inhibit the growth of bacteria.
Dormant Moss:
- Our dormant moss is a dry moss mix made from 2 of the fasted growing moss types (Hypmnum & Sphagnum). Our moss contains powdered butter milk & a type of gel to retain moisture.
- It is in a dormant state meaning it can grow new spores if kept moist for a prolonged period of time. (gametophytes stage of growth)
- This moss has an indefinite shelf life.
- Colour is greenish brown but when watered & covered with film, it will be a beautiful vibrant green colour in 4-6 months (ALWAYS KEEP IT MOIST)
Preserved Moss
- Our preserved moss is treated to look green at all times. You don't have to water this ever.
