This lush, natural moss helps maintain high humidity levels and provides a perfect substrate for tropical species, live plants, and humid microclimates.

Harvested using sustainable methods, this long-lasting moss naturally resists decomposition and can be washed and reused multiple times. Ideal as a top substrate or decorative accent, it’s the preferred choice for frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, small snakes, and invertebrates like hermit crabs.
