Fissidens Spp. (Adianthoides, Taxifolius, Bryoides) Rare Live Moss for Terrarium, Terrarium Moss, Terrarium Plant, Terrestrial Moss, DIY

Fissidens is one of my favorite genus of mosses to use inside a closed terrarium, as they take extremely well to the humid environment and low airflow, they grow true to form and make a great addition to any terrarium. Fissidens are a popular moss for collectors and moss enthusiasts around the world.

Fissidens can be found in shady woodland on rocks, muddy soil, and clay near streams and wet boggy areas.

Mosses are a type of Bryophyte, which are a non-vascular plant. Unlike other plants, moss has no internal veins transporting water and nutrients from the root system. Instead of roots, mosses soak up water directly through their tiny leaves. Moss grows small hair-like strands underneath called rhyzoids, which look like roots but are used for clinging to surfaces, substrates, and even each other.

Since moss loves moisture, it makes them ideal candidates for terrariums and other humid setups like paludariums, vivariums, ripariums, and even bonsai trees. Experimenting with different setups is always recommended to find what works best for your location and growing environment.

You will receive a 4" x 4" box of fresh live moss, as seen in the pictures, which is enough for a few small or a couple of medium-sized terrariums.

Green Mountain Moss is a newly established moss farm and terrarium supply store in Southwestern Vermont.

All Green Mountain Moss is grown and ethically harvested from its natural environment on our families and friends' land. At GMM, we cultivate and care for many species of amazing and diverse local mosses. All mosses are hand-picked, cleaned, and soaked in fresh mountain water. I do my best to pick out all the pine needles, twigs, and foliage, but some may remain, along with tiny hitchhikers.

Each moss order is personally handpicked, and packed, guaranteed to be delivered as fresh as the day it was harvested.
