Cushion Moss - 25 Square Feet
Description
Cushion moss is pale green and has a white sheen when dry. When watered, the light green color returns. When installed, it makes a beautiful green carpet on commercial and residential properties. It is also fantastic in terrariums.
Cushion Moss Loves Poor Sandy Soil
Because of its round shape, a gardener can use it in many beautiful ways along walkways, trees, and woodland gardens. Adding sculptural interest to a fair and shady Japanese garden is just the thing. It does well in sandy soils and poor, acidic soils that are kept moist.
Cushion Moss Grows Anywhere That’s Shaded And Somewhat Damp
Unlike other plants, it doesn’t produce flowers but spores after a complicated reproductive process. It has neither roots nor vascular tissues and has to secure itself to the ground with rhizoid filaments. Rhizoids allow the plant to be easily broken up and transplanted. Because it doesn’t have vascular tissue, it has to get nutrients from the water.
How To Plant Cushion Moss
How to Plant: Remove all other plant life from the area, dig in two inches of peat type, and drench until the field is muddy. Gently rinse the clump, then add it to the area. Press to remove any air pockets.
Cushion Moss Is Shipped Bare-Root
Cushion moss is shipped as a bare-root plant. You can keep it in the refrigerator or even the freezer until it’s planted. It is a soft plant that animals love.
