  • Super high quality!
Size: Single Pack
I got this, last year, to use in some of my plants. I've actually gotten it a few times. You don't get much but, it is so clean! It is so soft!! It holds up incredibly well and stays damp for a long time but, no mold! I needed to make moss poles so, this was WAY too expensive. I went with a brand marketed for plants, specifically orchids. It was on the recommendation of a friend who grows houseplants to sell. While it's a substantial amount for about $6, it was completely full of sticks and such!! I hate it! So! I'm coming back to this. I won't be making poles with it but, it's PERFECT for doing a moss and chunky perlite mix, in small, clear pots for my baby/young airoids and alocasia corms!! I do have snakes. If I needed moss for them, I'd get this in a second!! I only wish this came in much a bigger amount. ... show more

  • Good moss
Size: Single Pack
Just good Moss. I taped half of the box so it wouldn’t fall out of the sides because you know it’s moss easily sides through the cracks of the box, gecko loves it. It goes in his humid hide. Does last for a few months before you need to change it really. Good stuff.

  • Can be dusty
Size: Single Pack
Slightly dusty with smaller bits of moss but once wet is great for hides decor or a moss pit

  • Beautiful Long Strand Moss
Size: Single Pack
My Philodendron Propagations are doing so well in this Long Strand New Zealand Moss … I am super thrilled I bought it . Should have been packed in a ziploc bag and then in the paper box it came in … since a lot of the moss dust escaped through the box and messed up the suitcase I carried it back in while traveling to Qatar. Color of the moss was lovely ... show more

  • Quickly brought up humidity in hermit crab tank
Size: Single Pack
Bought this because I heard it would help up the humidity in our hermit crab tank. It was in the 60s and within an hour it was up to 71 after I wet some and put in and sealed our lid. It sat at 75 for a day or two and is now up to 78 which is great. It came inside a bag in the original box. When I opened it some small particles were flying out but it’s from it being so dry. Would definitely recommend this product to bring up humidity in your tanks. Our crabs have been trying to climb in the bowl I put it in but it’s too tall and slick so I may end up putting a ladder on the outside for them to be able to get in there too. ... show more

  • Not the best
Size: Single Pack
Good company but this moss is not great. It's super fluffy and crumbly. You won't get much out of it. We soak it before putting in our toetpise enclosure. It does not provide as much volume as other brands.
