Moss Wall Specification Guide

Step 1: Evaluate the Space & Environmental Conditions

One of the greatest advantages of preserved moss is its incredible environmental flexibility. Unlike living walls, a moss wall requires no irrigation systems, no soil, and no supplemental grow lighting.

However, because these are preserved natural materials, you must account for specific interior parameters during the early phase of your moss wall design:

• Interior Use Only: Moss walls must be placed in controlled interior environments.
• Stable Humidity: The space must maintain stable interior humidity to keep the moss soft and pliable. A good rule-of-thumb is: if the humidity is appropriate for people, it's appropriate for moss. 
• Sunlight Protection: Avoid long-term exposure to direct sunlight to protect the longevity of the colors.
• Wall Substrates: GrowUp moss walls can be securely mounted to almost any surface, though non-standard and non-flat surfaces require early architectural planning.

Step 2: Choose Your Moss Varieties

Select from five distinct preserved plant species to build a rich tactile composition. Each profile brings specific geometries to your canvas:

• Mood Moss (Dicranum scoparium): Thick, plush, and velvety with distinctive undulating tufts.
• Reindeer Moss (Cladonia rangiferina): Spongy, springy, and porous, available in over 20 color variations.
• Carpet Moss (Hypnum cupressiforme): Flat, thin, fibrous profile perfect for large surface area coverage.
• Pin Cushion Moss (Leucobryum glaucum): Dense, firm, and rounded mounds that add 3D architectural mass.
• Spanish Moss (Tillandsia usneoides): Stringy, draped, and cascading strands for a rustic aesthetic.
