Yes! The moss used in art is absolutely real and natural, sustainably harvested by hand and professionally preserved through a special process that maintains its lush texture and vibrant color for years to come.
Does moss art need maintenance?
No! Preserved moss art requires no maintenance as the moss is no longer living, it does not need any watering, sunlight, pruning or misting. Moss wall frames don't even attract much dust, however, depending on the location where they're installed, they may accumulate a bit of dust which can be gently removed with a soft cloth or a cool air blow (from a common hairdryer).
Where can I install a moss wall?
Preserved moss has to be kept indoors, this is the main requirement of any moss wall or moss art made with preserved moss and plants. To maximize the lifespan of your moss art, please keep it out of direct sunlight and away from direct heat/air conditioning sources. If you place your moss art on a dark spot like a corridor, it will thrive for many years while adding a green touch to a place where living plants would not survive!
How to hang a moss panel or moss frame?
Preserved moss is very light so a standard-size frame or panel can be easily hung on any type of wall with standard hanging hooks or 3M strips. Extra large moss frames or panels may require different tools, read more details in our moss wall art installation blog post.
Is moss art suitable for a bathroom?
Yes and no! Preserved moss doesn't thrive in humid spaces (which is why it has to be kept indoors), therefore a bathroom where people take showers would not be the best choice. However, it would suit a small guest bathroom with no shower in sight!
Is moss art safe for people with allergies?
Yes! Preserved moss is no longer living so it's completely safe for people with allergies and hayfever.
How long does moss art last?
