Moss in a Jar

So what exactly is moss in a jar?

Moss in a jar, also known as a moss terrarium, is a closed miniature ecosystem. Inside the glass container, mosses, ferns and small plants manage their own moisture – water evaporates, condenses on the glass and returns to the roots. The result is a living decoration that stays beautiful for years and needs almost no care.

How does ArtTerra (moss in a jar) work?

During the two-hour workshop, guided by experienced instructors, you create two moss terrariums – one larger and one smaller. Step by step you learn how to layer the drainage and substrate correctly, how to choose plants and how to do the final arrangement. It all happens in a calm atmosphere with a welcome drink – the perfect way to unwind after a busy week.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS – MOSS IN A JAR

Moisture-loving forest and cushion mosses work best, as they tolerate the constant humidity of a closed container. At the workshop we have suitable species ready and the instructor will advise you on combining them with ferns or fittonias.

Put it somewhere bright but out of direct sunlight, and mist it with a spray bottle only when the glass stops fogging up. If the glass is permanently misted, open the container for a few hours. There’s no need to water it every day.
