This moss mix is a mixture of temperate and tropical mosses, fern spores, liverworts, and Begonia seeds. Moss mix is brown to black in color with green flecking, and may have an odor to it. This is completely normal and safe, but in this instance you will want to wear gloves as the smell sticks to hands. Please refer to our moss mix caresheet under the information tab > product-specific information. This mix contains over 16 different mosses, 1-3 types of small-species fern spores, Marcgravia slices, pieces of tropical plant stems, liverworts, aquatic plants and any other small seed bearing plants we have on hand. Use within 24 hours of receiving. View our moss mix care sheet for more information. You will want to "fling" the moss mix onto moist wood, moist backgrounds, leaf litter, etc. It can take anywhere between 1-2 weeks to start showing growth, about a month to two months for primary growth, and about 6 months for full growth. You can also propagate this moss on a moist bed of processed Sphagnum moss under LED lights. Please contact us for videos on usage and any questions.
