Press it firmly onto a moist, well-aerated substrate to remove air gaps, and mist lightly or daily during the first 2–3 weeks to encourage attachment and steady growth. Moss Tac or a natural adhesive may be used for vertical surfaces. During dry periods, some moss may enter dormancy and change appearance, but it reliably revives after rehydration.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moss \u0026 Stone Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Brachythecium thraustum","offer_id":71144832139517,"sku":"TM-EFM-0.25","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Racomitrium canescens","offer_id":71144832106749,"sku":null,"price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Hypnum imponens","offer_id":71144832172285,"sku":"TM-SHM-1","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0040\/7699\/4624\/files\/fa64acdc8e2fed05099a2fb00c4774adf1dc5ab0ea3eb2a60304a88e33dcbbcd.jpg?v=1784909369","url":"https:\/\/botanicahuntsville.com\/products\/live-moss-for-terrariums","provider":"Botanica","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
