You heard that right! This moss species thrives best in the shade 
The Growable Moss for the Shade is a flexible, slow-growing moss with an excellent transplant success rate. This moss thrives in the shade and may even withstand moderate sunlight, but not direct afternoon sun.

How to apply:

  1. Place the Growable Moss for the Shade in a bucket with a few cups of water or spread the moss on your desired area and mist the area with water.
  2. If you placed the Growable Moss in a bucket, let it stand for around 10 minutes.
  3. Then apply the gel-like paste to any surface, whether it be pavement, wood, flagstone, rock or soil. Just make sure that your desired shaded area is cleared from all weeds, leaves and debris. 
  4. Once you start watering the area you applied your Growable Moss for the Shade daily, you will start seeing moss grow as early as in 6 weeks.
  5. Keep in mind that this type of moss grows at a much slower pace than most. So, being patient and persistent is key!

Mossify recommends germinating your Growable Moss for the Shade outdoors. Please make sure the area you want to plant is constantly watered and moist during germination, specially during the first few weeks following inoculation. We also highly recommend pre-misting the selected area or soil, which helps the moss fragments stick better.

Planting our Growable Moss for the Shade will add some beautiful greenery to your flagstone joints, lawn, driveway, terrarium and much more! It can also endure foot traffic.
