I just bought some moss to use for crafts, love everything nature to use for decorating, it was expensive. I was thinking to myself I probably could do my own moss, like you found nothing online showing how to preserve moss.This was interesting and informative, thanking for sharing.

Many types of vegetation can be preserved with glycerin. I have some leaves I picked and preserved more than ten years ago and they are dark, but still flexible. They were in a dark box for most of the time - I think they would not have lasted so long in sunlight.

Thanks for the tutorial! I still have one question, do you need to dry the moss after collecting from the forest, before putting it into the solution? If yes how do you dry it, and when do you know it's ready to put into the solution? Merry Christmas and a great start into new year!

Hi! I dont know what area of the states you live, but I am in Northern Michigan and reindeer moss is very abundant here. I googled what type of environment it grows in and that was a big help in locating it. I learned its a lot more plentiful than I imagined.... but then, I never looked for it before.

Can it withstand bright light or does it need shaded light can anyone help me I have some a friend gave me but we dont have it where im from naturally and Ive never seen any before now - I have mine right now in a container on top of some leaf litter and coco fiber with some bark chips I gathered from my backyard? but watering? light? other plants I can grow with it? Id love more info XOXO

Hi Natalia! Up until a few days ago, I had no idea that moss was so popular! I stumbled upon your video by accident and am so happy that I did!! Now that I'm seeing all of the creative things that can be made with moss, I am excited about trying some projects myself! I've located fields of reindeer moss and have gathered way more than I should have, but with our long harsh winters where I live, I figured its better to be safe than sorry! I have a question though.... I have dried the moss very well ... its crispy.... do you think it will be okay stored in boxes the way it is, or will it crumble and turn to dust over time? Dying and preserving it in small batches as I need it sure would be easier than tackling it all at once. Thank You again for sharing your time and knowledge with us!!!

@nataliadiy1348 3 жыл бұрын

Thanks for your comment! You did everything perfectly :) it will stay crispy and ready to be stabilized. Just be careful and don't smash it by accident, like my 6 year old son did with mine 😅

@katcoe1079 3 жыл бұрын

It will loose colour over time from sunlight or from dust settling on it. Best to keep out of direct sunlight as Natalia said, and to clean carefully with pressurised air. You can buy it in spray cans from stores that sell electronics
