How to care for stabilized moss (spoiler: barely at all)

A quick guide to keeping your moss frame or centerpiece perfect: no watering, no direct light, no soil.

Stabilized moss detail

Stabilized moss is real nature that has gone through a preservation process. It keeps its texture and color without water, soil or light. That is why it is the base of our pieces: living beauty, minimal maintenance.

A moss frame in place

The three rules

  • No watering. Stabilized moss is never watered. Water actually ruins it.
  • No direct light. Avoid prolonged direct sun: it can fade the green over time.
  • Balanced humidity. It works best indoors between 40% and 70% relative humidity.

Cleaning

Dust it occasionally with cool air from a hairdryer on low or a soft duster. No products, no damp cloths.

A piece freshly composed at the workshop

A well-placed piece stays flawless for years.
