How to apply:

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