Maintenance-free Moss Terrariums

Archive

Moss has all sorts of qualities. It can absorb large amounts of harmful toxins and its water-absorbing properties prevent soil erosion. It’s even loved in herbal medicine, where certain moss varieties are processed and used as a diuretic or cough remedy. Irish moss is used as a general emulsifier in food and is known for its nutritional qualities. With that said, the really great thing about moss is… It looks cool in a terrarium! Okay, maybe that’s not the very best thing about the plant. But, preserved moss varieties can fill a terrarium with natural greenery for many years, with zero maintenance. You have to admit, that’s pretty neat.
