apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I want! I love moss. Unfortunately I can not afford that unless it costs $30 or less when it debuts.

That's pretty cool, I'd be afraid my cats would ruin it though.

When we were kids my friend used to tell me that moss was good for bare feet. Maybe he was right! Either way, we loved it, and I'd LOVE it after a shower! I wonder if there's a way to diy this...

wow this is great!

please keep us posted re-nest and let us know if this will be massed produced.

For Realsies? I wonder if dirt gets on your feet? Or is there no dirt? I love moss... I wonder how much moisture it would need, though, because the middle would get more moisture than the edges...

Anyway, very cool.

My pets would love to keep that moist, if you know what I'm sayin...

I would love moss everywhere!

I love it and can't wait to see it on the market!

I like this. I want this. I think it's a great idea. Please make this more affordable.

is there anyway we could diy this?

That's so cool! How about a whole moss carpet! Hurry and mass-produce... we all want!

i know moss doesn't need much light, but it seems it would need more than is on my bathroom floor.

Guys Guys
Al very lovely moss in the bathroom
but is this sustainable?
Mosses come in a wide variety of forms, but all are based on a stem and leaf structure. The stem may be branched to a greater or lesser degree. Broadly, they can be divided into two groups - acrocarpous and pleurocarpous mosses. They live in woodlands and not in bath rooms for us to stand on!

Imagine if all of us will harvest moss illegally out of woodlands
this will cause great damage for the enviroment.





If everyone will take moss form outside

If everyone will take moss from outside what will happen.
Beer sugar and clumps of moss and wait for the natural enviroment to happen?
Please then all leave it there!

Magicbluebell, there are responsible "farms" that cultivate moss specifically for gardening, so yes, you can get moss without hurting the environment.

Due to how long it can take to grow moss, though, their product tends to be unfortunately pricey.

If you can't pay for the more expensive time, and don't want to take it out of the woods, your best bet is to look for a gardener with moss they want removed. Some gardeners or people with lawns dislike moss and try to get rid of it - in which case, there's no harm in you saving something that was going to be killed off anyway.

Real Moss! WOW!
Didnt know they could create something real with such beauty. I mean just think one coming out of the bath and wiping foot on the original moss.

Total luxury!! loved the post

I think this is a great idea. People need to rethink how they use plants in the domestic plants. I imagine a large percentage of they population will have a psychological barrier to stepping onto something traditionally an outdoor material when they feel clean stepping out of the shower.

Lovely idea. Wouldn't work in my windowless bathroom, but I'm interested to see if it catches on.

Incidentally, I collect moss kicked up by the landscapers at our apartment, which would otherwise die if left to dry out. Thanks for the beer recipe... I may put a sip into my terrarium.

Believe it or not I "caught" the "gardeners" that are contracted by the townhome association where we rent spraying the moss by "my" patio with some weed killer....WTF????? I loved the moss and it was hurting no one. Now there are weeds or crab grass there and they just mow it.

i like this and i'd like to be of help.. what support are you seeling?

seeking, sorry

Most moss needs very little light, does not need dirt to grow, just something to cling to, can handle great fluctuations in the amount of water it gets, is extremely hardy, and will re-propagate just fine if you take some and leave some in the outdoors.

To make "paintable" moss, just get a handful of the moss you wish to grow, and throw it in the blender for a minute with plain yogurt and some sculptor's clay. Then just paint it onto the object you want it to grow on, and keep it in a shady and moist environment. Your moss will grow in a few weeks.

Look very comfortable. It's so beautiful.
