What is preserved moss?
Preserved moss is real moss that’s been treated with a natural glycerin-based solution to maintain its soft texture, color, and shape — no water or sunlight needed. It’s a beautiful, low-maintenance, and eco-friendly option for natural décor.
Why is the moss so soft and realistic?
We preserve all of our moss using glycerin oil and non-toxic natural dyes. Glycerin is a safe, plant-based compound also found in food, cosmetics, and medicine. This process keeps the moss soft, flexible, and lifelike for years.
How long do preserved moss bowls and frames last?
With proper indoor care, our preserved moss décor can last 10 to 15+ years. Just keep it away from direct sunlight, high humidity, and moisture. Use a blow dryer on a cool setting (12" away) to gently remove any dust as needed.
Why is there a processing time for moss art?
Each piece is handcrafted to order. Depending on the size and materials, processing time ranges from 14 to 65 days:
-
Moss frames between 3 and 4 weeks
-
Moss Bowls bowls: 14 to 21 days
- Custom and Commercial Projects: 28 to 60 days.
Estimated time is listed on each product page.
Are your moss frames and panels handmade?
Yes — all of our moss art is handcrafted and made-to-order in-house. Every wood frame is custom-built from the ground up, starting with sourcing raw wood, followed by cutting, joining, sanding, and applying protective poly finishes. Nothing is mass-produced — every piece is made with care in our Chicago studio.
Can I place my moss décor outdoors?
Preserved moss is intended for indoor use. While you can display it in sheltered outdoor areas, exposure to sun, wind, rain, or humidity may cause color fading or damage. For best longevity, keep it indoors.
How do I clean my moss décor?
Use a blow dryer on a cool setting (from about 12 inches away) to remove dust. You can also use a soft brush. Some minor shedding is normal — avoid using water, soap, or chemicals as this can damage the preserved moss.
Can I place moss art in direct sunlight?
Direct sunlight may fade the moss colors over time. Indirect sunlight between 4 to 6 hours is okay. For best results, display your piece in a shaded or indirect light area.
Do I need to water preserved moss?
Nope! Preserved moss does not require any water, misting, or care. It’s permanently preserved and stays vibrant with zero maintenance.
Is preserved moss safe for pets?
Yes — our preserved moss is non-toxic and non-allergenic. We even have three cats in our home, and they don’t pay it any attention!
How can I use moss art in my home décor?
Preserved moss art adds natural texture to any space. It’s especially perfect for:
-
Living rooms, bedrooms, offices, or kitchens
-
Bathrooms, basements, or darker spaces without natural light
-
Console tables, counters, bookshelves, and gallery walls
You can also create a large moss wall centerpiece for maximum impact.
