    [Maintenance / Cautions]
    -Wipe the container with a soft cloth after watering or the color may change.
    -To grow, moss must be moist at all times.
    -Moss likes cool, moist and shady environment with indirect sunlight. Moss does not like much sun, heat, dry spells, or handling.
    -Use a fine mist to water.
    -When dried or leaving for days, wrap the pot and soil in plastic wrap to keep in moisture and humidity with indirect sunlight.
    -Keep away from too much heat and humidity in that condition or moss may rot.
    -Wipe the pot with a soft cloth.
    -Frequent misting to keep moist (not soaking wet)will help keep them green & happy!
    *Because it grows from spores, never throw away even if
    it dries and turns brown. It will grow again when the
    conditions improve.
