Longevity of Preserved Moss and Plants

⏳ 1. Lasts 10–12 years or even longer

High-quality preserved moss can maintain its softness, color, and shape for 10–12 years, and often beyond that, when kept under the right conditions.

🌿 2. Why is it so durable?

During preservation, the natural sap inside the plant is replaced with a safe, biodegradable glycerin solution. This stops growth while keeping the original look, flexibility, and texture of the plant.

🌱 3. The main benefit — no maintenance
Preserved moss:

• does not need watering,
• does not need sunlight,
• does not grow,
• is hypoallergenic.

How to Care for Preserved Moss Decor

Although moss is virtually maintenance-free, a few simple rules will extend its lifespan.

💨 1. Keep away from direct sunlight
Sunlight may cause fading over time. It is best to place moss decor away from strong UV exposure.

💧 2. Do not water
Water can damage the preserved fibers and cause deformation. Keep moss away from humid rooms or areas exposed to moisture.

🌡️ 3. Ideal humidity
Preserved moss prefers standard indoor humidity levels of 40–60%.
If air becomes too dry (e.g., near a heater), moss may stiffen slightly — just move it away from the heat source, and the softness usually returns.

🧹 4. Dust removal
Because of its texture, moss rarely accumulates dust.
If needed:

• gently blow off dust using cold air,
• or use a soft brush.

👨‍👩‍👧 5. Avoid touching unnecessarily
Frequent touching can alter the texture or shape over time. Moss artwork is meant to be enjoyed visually, not physically.

Why Preserved Moss Is a Smart Long-Term Investment

• lasts 8–10+ years,
• requires no watering or care,
• suitable for homes, offices, restaurants, and commercial spaces,
• natural, safe, and hypoallergenic,
• brings the calming presence of nature indoors.
