Moss Art Care Guide: Seasonal Tips for Year-Round Freshness

Introduction
Preserved moss art is a stunning, maintenance-free way to bring nature indoors — no watering, trimming, or sunlight required. But while it’s low-maintenance, a little seasonal attention can go a long way in keeping your piece looking fresh for years. Here’s our expert guide to caring for your moss art through every season.


Spring – Refresh & Renew

  • Dust Away Winter Buildup: Use a can of compressed air or a cool-setting blow dryer from at least 12" away to gently remove dust.

  • Check Placement: Spring is a time for rearranging — ensure your moss isn’t suddenly getting direct sunlight from newly opened blinds.

  • Add Accents: Fresh blooms in the same space can complement your moss art’s green tones for a seasonal refresh.


Summer – Protect from Heat & Humidity

  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Prolonged exposure can cause fading over time.

  • Control Humidity: Keep moss away from areas with excessive moisture, such as directly above humidifiers.

  • Light Dusting: A gentle dusting once or twice during the summer keeps it looking its best.


Fall – Deep Clean & Inspect

  • Seasonal Cleaning: Use soft brushes or a low-pressure air duster to remove accumulated debris.

  • Visual Inspection: Check for any color changes or shifts in texture.

  • Style Updates: Incorporate fall-inspired décor to complement the moss’s natural beauty.


Winter – Minimal Touch

  • Leave It Be: Cold weather months are ideal for simply enjoying your moss art.

  • Occasional Check: Inspect for dust or any unusual changes, but otherwise let it rest.

  • Cozy Styling: Surround with warm lighting and seasonal accents for a cozy, inviting look.
