Frequently Asked Questions
What is preserved moss and preserved flowers?
Preserved moss and flowers are real botanicals that have been carefully treated through a preservation process to maintain their natural look, texture, and color. Water and sap are replaced with a plant based preserving solution, allowing them to stay soft and vibrant without ongoing care.
Is preserved moss alive?
No. Preserved moss and flowers are no longer living plants. They are real, natural materials that have been stabilized so they no longer grow, wilt, or require maintenance.
Does preserved moss need water or sunlight?
Not at all. Preserved moss and flowers do not need water, sunlight, or soil. In fact, watering or placing them in direct sunlight can damage the preservation.
How long does preserved moss last?
With proper care, preserved moss and flowers can last many years. Most pieces maintain their beauty for five to ten years or longer when kept in a stable indoor environment.
What is proper care for preserved moss art?
Preserved moss should be kept indoors in a dry space. Avoid high humidity areas like bathrooms, avoid direct sunlight, and never water or mist the moss. Occasional gentle dusting with a soft brush or compressed air is all that’s needed.
Is preserved moss safe for homes?
