Moss and Matter moss art is the coupling of the outside nature you crave indoors shaped into an artful design.

Moss and Matter uses preserved natural moss that is fresh-looking and vibrant without requiring water, sunlight, or soil. Through the preservation process, the moss retains its natural appearance and texture but is no longer alive.

Caring for moss art from Moss and Matter is easy. Because the moss is preserved, no sun or water is required. Keep it indoors in a dry, moderate environment, away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, and moist areas. Keep art in a clean environment and use a duster gently.

To maximize the lifespan of Moss and Matter moss art, we recommend keeping your art indoors away from direct sunlight and bright artificial lights, which can damage moss and cause it to fade. If you use high-wattage lights, make sure they are not too close to the art. Also, avoid environments with sources of extreme heat or moisture. High humidity can cause it to absorb moisture, making it feel damp.
