What Are Preserved Moss Walls?

Moss wall surfaces that have been preserved do not require any upkeep. They're composed of genuine moss treated with a 100 percent natural glycerin emulsion to retain their quality and freshness for five years with no need for water or plant food.

Moss is one of the most ancient plants on the planet; scientists have discovered fossilized moss dating back over 400 million years. Because preserved moss wall surfaces are best kept inside, they are intended for interior settings.

A living moss wall can stay outside for brief periods, but it's better to keep it away from intense light, flowing water, and heating and cooling devices. Because they may be personalized to your specific plans and demands, these wall decorations are ideal for corporate offices, dental offices, spas, physicians' waiting rooms or offices, retailers, and even residences.

Moss wall surfaces are distinct from live wall surfaces in that they do not require weekly or daily maintenance as living wall surfaces do. Another advantage is that they don't attract pests and have a natural acoustic advantage and act as a natural humidity indicator. Irrigation is nearly always required for living walls. Consider siphoning water from a significant source to clean and water the wall garden installation properly. Moss wall surfaces don't require a lot of water, soil, or sunlight to survive. Preserved moss should also not be subjected to high-intensity ultraviolet radiation.

One of the main advantages of preserved moss walls is that they are easily transferable and can be constructed in various forms and colors because of their flexible arrangement and substance. A type of popular moss is reindeer moss, which must be kept in an atmosphere with a relative humidity of at least 40%.

Installation of Preserved Moss Walls

Preserved moss walls may be installed practically anywhere. However, there are a few suggestions to consider while selecting the ideal location for your new green wall.

  • Preserved moss walls should not be placed in direct sunlight or in an exceptionally dry environment. Moss walls require a certain amount of humidity (40-50%) to keep their beautiful look.
  • Never put a moss wall near an air conditioning or heating vent. It might get ruined by hot or cold air. When in a hot or cold environment, a safe distance should be maintained, and the wall should not be touched.
  • When picking the proper area for the moss wall art, keep in mind that water splashes might destroy the color. Please don't touch anything! A notice may be helpful in a high-traffic location where interested visitors might try to examine the material's texture.

How to Care for Preserved Moss Walls

The only thing you'll need to maintain preserved moss walls is a little mist of water if the humidity lowers or a gentle cleaning every few months if the space has become dusty.

If you want to make your life simpler, take our advice and choose a specific plant scheme that consists mainly of preserved moss, lichen, ferns, and other leaves. Preserved moss walls can endure for 7-10 years in a suitable climate, with only an occasional dusting. Furthermore, well-kept moss will retain its unique charm for many years.

On the other hand, the moss may dry out in low-humidity conditions (less than 30% humidity). But don't worry. When placed in a room with average moisture or when the humidity in the room returns to normal, it will become soft and lush again. The humidity level that is considered "normal" is generally between 45% and 65%. However, a good rule of thumb is that it will be OK for the preserved moss if the humidity is pleasant and comfortable for people.

Where Should I Put My Moss Wall?

Green walls are ideal for any property because of their variety, ease of installation, and ease of care. Preserved plants are the best way to go if the conditions aren't conducive to living plants, such as lack of sunshine or a general lack of a green thumb (no judgment here).

These types of walls come in a variety of forms, and the moss may be dyed in almost any color. Consider it akin to picking out wallpaper. Your color, pattern, and framing options are practically limitless. 

A moss wall surface may be used in various ways by a team to beautify your building lobby, office, or home. An entire wall surface can be covered, you can mount one like a painting, and any form or repeated pattern can be created. The creativity of those involved is the only limit t for design.

Moss walls may take on a variety of shapes and colors, allowing for unique patterns. Several types of moss, preserved trees, and synthetic plants can be used to fascinating effect. Consider it like choosing the fabric for a new, custom-made dress or suit. Your color and texture choices are as one-of-a-kind as you are.

Because preserved moss is no longer active, it will not filter the air as well as living moss, but it will still provide some significant advantages.

Reduced Maintenance

Living moss walls demand more upkeep than preserved moss. It is not necessary to sprinkle preserved moss to keep it hydrated. Because preserved moss does not require a soil basis, it may be arranged in more imaginative ways than living walls.

Lighting

The same conditions apply to preserved moss as they do to living moss walls, in that exposing it to direct sunlight will dry it out and perhaps bleach it.

Ultimately, it is up to you and what you want in terms of the moss wall you choose. Moss is a beautiful alternative for turning your workplace green without taking up office space because it is incredibly adaptable and easy to maintain.
