  Description
  Care Instructions
  2 quart bags of different mosses and lichens so you can build your own terrarium.
  1 bag will contain a nice mixture of mosses (what is currently fresh such as feather, rockcap, etc.) and the other bag will contain other goodies such as rare lichens/ mini-vines, forest floor plants, etc. We give nice kits and will make a nice terrarium. You may not get exactly everything mentioned, but it will be a good variety!
  A lot of the cost for terrariums is in the container itself. Most people have a vast supply of containers such as old jars, water pitchers, and even vintage glassware. You can use almost any cleaned container for your own unique look.
  Lichen
  These do not require any special planting. Simply place on top of your soil and mist with a spring water (or non-chlorinated) every few days. These do best when kept out of direct sunlight, especially during the hotter hours of the day. Clean air is essential for these to live. They will not thrive in a smoky or contaminated environment. Also note that these grow at a very slow rate, most only 1/4-1/2" per year, if that.
  Moss
  Keep moss damp. Moisten every 3-5 days if inside. Avoid full direct sun for more than 6 hours. Cooler morning sun provides the best results, with shade in the heat of the day.
  Tip: Rain water can be caught in a vessel and put into a NEW CLEAN spray bottle for natural watering.
  Succulent Care
  Succulents do best in well-drained soil. The addition of grit or sharp sand will improve porosity & drainage. After planting, water once a week. New plants should be well established in 5-6 weeks.
  Visit the Cactus Succulent Society for very detailed care information. A great resource!
  Mini-Terrarium Instructions
  Place a small clump of moss in container first, then place the smaller lichen as preferred to fill in or add detail. Tweezers or a skewer can be helpful in placing and arranging. Water well then add a few drops of spring water (or non-chlorinated) every few days.
  Seedling Care
  Depending on the time of year, your seedlings may or may not have leaves. Care of the roots is most important at this time, keep them moist until time for planting.

  You get SO much for the value. I am able to fill many terrariums and plants with this gorgeous moss/lichen. I also ordered the jewel orchid and berry vine, both flourished in my terrariums. The quality is amazing, shipping is on time, and the products are excellent quality. If you are on the fence, jump on down and order it!

  We have been making large and small moss terrariums for Mother’s Day. The quality is excellent.

  I initially ordered mosses to make really tiny mosses and am moving up in size to include other plants. This terrarium I made for my rolypoly Lola. Appalachian Emporium is my new favorite place to shop online.
  Michael M.
  So many varieties all arrived in excellent health and are doing well both indoors and out at my home. Thank you!
  Sharon S.
  Very pleased with my purchase! Arrived in excellent condition.

  I use moss to prepare my trees for a Bonsai exhibit. The most recent was Komorebi in Miami October 12-13. The moss and lichen were excellent. In fact I’ve never heard the judges discuss moss before until they saw my tree. Very pleased and will be back for more.
  Philip K.
  This company is very professional and provided what I needed on time to display my Bonsai at the Bonsai Societies of Florida convention...excellent!

  Beautiful!!!

  I first discovered Appalachian Emporium looking for live moss on amazon. I ordered a few different types of mosses. Everything arrived perfectly. I started making terrariums again and knew where to find the perfect moss. I received the premium super mix, live moss and lichens, and a few tiny decor items. Once again, I wasn’t disappointed. All of the moss looked as though I had just pulled it from the ground and not out of a package. Plus, it was a large quantity. This is the only place I will ever order mosses from.

  With weather plummeting from the low 60's to the teens here in Dallas, I didn't order the moss/lichen mix at the best time and yet these curious creatures showed up at my door in peak condition! With two quart-size zip-locks stuffed with an assortment of moss and lichen, they provided more than enough to create the garden I have planned. I requested no ivy, but desired a plant or shroom with a little height to it, in response they shipped no ivy and provided several taller specimens for me to choose from. One last note: when I took a whiff of the rock moss, I was instantly transported back to my childhood as it smells just like the turtles, crayfish, and salamanders I used to catch in MD! I will offer one tip: Cut the sides of the zip-lock bag with the lichens in it, so that you can carefully remove them without damage. They're much more fragile than the moss.

  Looks good out of the box, nice diversity.

  All arrived quickly and was healthy. We are trusting our plant-sitters are taking good care of it as we are currently out of country. If all goes well, we will use these mosses in displays and as ground cover beneath our bonsais, possibly a bit in our desk-top terrarium.

  I received a very nice variety of mosses, mushrooms and a couple of decorative terrarium pieces. Everything arrived very fresh but not sure if the mushrooms will make it as they are already turning brown (I may be doing something wrong?)I will definitely order from them again because of the great variety of mosses offered.
