Looking to add some green accents to your home? No time to look after demanding plants? Had no luck even with the easiest succulent? Look no further.

Moss is the way to go. Moss has many unique features but perhaps the most important is that it requires no maintenance and is the ultimate synergistic blend of nature and design.

Although moss plants are typically found in wet, shady areas, mosses are actually one of the most drought resistant plants in existence. Some species have therefore adapted to survive in seasonally dry climates such as alpine rocks or stabilized sand dunes. During lengthy dry periods, mosses are able to completely dry-out and suspend all growth. When moisture returns, moss plants will essentially come back from the dead and resume their photosynthetic metabolism.

With clients spread across the Nordic region and the British Island, we often fall back to moss installations. With zero maintenance required, low sun demand, and average humidity need, mosses are the perfect plants for everyone that are simply too busy to dedicate time to their green addiction.

Taking the concept a step further, you can use moss as a living bathroom mat. There’s nothing like the feeling of fresh cut grass under the toes, especially when stepping out of the shower. The lush green lawn thrives in humid environments, which makes your bathroom a perfect place to grow.

If the aesthetic benefits of moss didn’t convince you, look at the wellbeing aspect. Many species of moss have anti-bacteria properties, some used even as antiseptic. Moss cultures have the ability to filter pollutants such as particulate matter out of the air by binding them to the leaf surface and then integrating them permanently into their own biomass. This makes them ideal air purifiers for every urban home, while being more igienic that the regular bath mat.
