Sheet Moss for Terrariums (Hypnum imponens)

Sheet Moss for Terrariums (Hypnum imponens) creates a lush and forest-floor-like aesthetic in your vivarium or terrarium. This moss is a fast-establishing moss that grows in a mat/carpet style and is an ideal ground coverage in high-humidity environments.

Sheet moss has a deep green color with a low-growing structure. It creates a living carpet that supports humidity retention, soil stability, and offers the ideal microhabitat functions for your terrarium. We ship this moss live and hydrated, so you can use it immediately after the package arrives.

Hand-cleaned and pest-checked for enclosed builds. Planting outdoors at garden scale instead? Our landscaping grade sheet moss is the same species, supplied by the square foot and cut to order.
