Bring Nature Indoors: The Beauty and Versatility of Preserved Moss

Nature has a timeless appeal, and at Leaf Landscape Supply, we’re passionate about helping our customers bring that natural beauty into every space—indoors and out. One of the most elegant, low-maintenance ways to do that is with preserved moss.

Whether you’re an interior designer, landscape architect, plant enthusiast, or DIY home decorator, preserved moss is a unique material that offers flexibility, texture, and a connection to the outdoors—all without the upkeep of living plants.

What Is Preserved Moss?

Preserved moss is real moss that has been treated with natural, non-toxic preservatives (often glycerin-based) to maintain its lush, green appearance for years. It no longer grows, requires no soil, water, or sunlight, and stays soft and vibrant indefinitely with proper care.

Think of it as nature, paused in perfection.

Why Use Preserved Moss?

1. No Maintenance
Once installed, preserved moss doesn’t need watering, trimming, or direct sunlight. That makes it ideal for indoor spaces, commercial installations, and anyone seeking a no-hassle natural aesthetic.

2. Versatile Design Element
Use it in wall art, green walls, signage, terrariums, and decorative displays. Moss adds organic texture and color to minimalist spaces, rustic interiors, and modern designs alike.

3. Sustainable and Eco-Friendly
By using preserved moss, you’re repurposing natural materials in a way that’s both beautiful and sustainable. It’s harvested responsibly and treated to last, reducing waste and water use.

4. Improves Acoustic Comfort
Moss walls and panels have natural sound-dampening qualities, making them great for office spaces, lobbies, or any area where sound absorption is a bonus.

Preserved Moss Applications

• Residential Décor: Accent walls, picture frames, table centerpieces, shelf backdrops

• Commercial Installations: Office greenery, restaurant walls, salon or spa ambiance

• Event Design: Weddings, pop-up displays, branded event backdrops

• Retail and Hospitality: Signage, reception walls, boutique displays

Caring for Preserved Moss

Even though it’s low-maintenance, preserved moss lasts longer if kept:

• Out of direct sunlight (it may fade)

• In dry environments (excess humidity can cause mildew)

• Away from heavy touching or crushing

With just a bit of care, preserved moss installations can stay vibrant for 5–10 years or more.
