In some spots, the Lake resembles a glass paperweight. Its underwater flora is temporarily still. The Elder Turtle gives you a small sample of the Lake's moss and supplies for its habitat so that you can examine it more closely. Rinse the stones before adding them to the vial and provide the moss with dechlorinated or spring water.
Your planted jar kit includes: java moss; a jar to plant it in; pebbles, sea glass, and shells to decorate the jar; and a stick tool to help arrange it all.
Please note: Unpack your moss as soon as it arrives. Java moss is relatively resistant to both cold and heat, but it should be removed from the dark packaging and kept in a bowl of water until you are ready to assemble your kit. Some brown segments on the moss are normal, especially after a cold, dark trip through the mail. Any soft black bits should be trimmed away before assembling your jar. If your moss has significant soft black spots, it may have spent too long in freezing temperatures; please reach out so we can send a replacement.
Assembling Your Kit
Rinse pebbles, shells, and glass before adding them to the jar. Add your chosen decorations to the jar and then fill with spring water or dechlorinated water. Trim away any soft black bits from your java moss. Use the included stick tool to arrange all components within your jar.
Caring for Your Planted Jar
Java moss is both beautiful and hardy. Keep your planted jar in a spot where it can receive some dappled light, but not in direct sunlight. Your moss will brighten and grow greener over time. Change the water in the jar once every two months, or if it grows murky.
Mossy Planted Jar was featured in the Frozen Lake Box (February 2022).
This little moss kit came with the Welcome Kit. It was originally offered with The Frozen Lake box. It was easy to set up. I planted the moss last weekend, so it's just getting started. Great item! It inspired me to start a couple of moss terrariums.
Sorry that my picture didn’t make it with my review.
It was wonderful came in mail quickly... I just purchased this one item ... It was so well packaged with pretty purple tissue paper a nice card and directions I put it together as soon as I got it and I went on vacation for 4 days when I got home it looks beautiful like maybe it's grown a little bit. I plan on painting the little box and using it to put other things I buy from bird Moss I also received everything in a small bag that I can reuse for other things. I cannot afford once a month but I can definitely purchase a one-time box they have a great variety of small things that have been included in boxes, fair prices and that way even if you don't have a budget as much like I don't you can still enjoy some of their products I am very happy with my purchase and I will be getting more... I am so happy you found me
I love this little water feature. So cute and fun.
Precious little bottle of greenery and life! Arrived safely despite the winter chill, accompanied by the perfect amount of substrate and decoration! I currently place my tiny aquatic world under a grow light- it will move to a sunny windowsill soon!
My lake moss garden arrived a few days ago , with the moss In perfect health and with a delightful assortment of shells and colorful beach glass to decorate it with . I’ve placed it on my living room windowsill where I can appreciate the sunlight shining through and the verdant green . It’s a perfect a antidote to the dreary grey cold of winter.
I love my Freshwater Moss. I keep it, along with my other Birdmoss treasures on a shelf at my sink. Doing dishes is a time for me to visit this aquatic dreamscape and unwind after a busy day.
Everything came packaged very secure, clean, and with all of the materials i needed (except water). You can just tell someone took the time to make this right for us. My freshwater moss is happy and thriving. A small little sweet reminder everytime i see it i love it truly. Im scared to kill it like all of my plants but i love it all the same haha! I chose from the baggy of small rocks, shells and seaglass the perfect shades to compliment my adorable little plant 💕 *do not wait to assemble this* your moss *must* be put in water asap. I also didnt need the entire baggy of add ins for the vial (less room to actually see the plant in my case) so do what works for you because they send enough that you can literally make it how you want with as little or as much as youd like! Very beautiful and charming
I love everything I get from Birdmoss. The Freshwater Moss kit was such a joy to put together and brightens the corner of my desk - reminiscent of trips to tube and snorkel Rainbow River in FL when my son was a boy. Such lovely memories and a cheerful little sunbeam of river life remembrance.
This little underwater garden is so cute. I just love it.
What a beautiful moss garden! Bottle is larger than anticipated, and came with a generous amount of rocks, shells, and moss! The colored bits are a nice touch, and really catch the light through the water. I adore this bottle, it was meant to be a gift but I had to keep it. =) Just lovely. Highly recommend.
It reminds me of sitting at the lake, on the dock, looking into the water and seeing the moss sway with the water.
My first one somehow I killed. I do not have a green thumb. Simple instructions but yep I killed it. I ordered another one. Hopefully I hope it lives.
I received a nice packet of freshwater moss in great condition-no bad spots-that fill my little jar! It sits in the window so I can see it’s pretty green all day. The bitty shells in there are so quaint and striking against the moss! It’s lovely ❤️
This little treasure lives on my desk and is so relaxing and uplifts me during my workday!
I loved my moss until it started breaking apart and died. I wish it would have lasted longer. It was pretty and whimsical with tiny sea glass and shells.
Hi, Nikki! Thank you for your feedback. I’m sorry that the Freshwater Moss you received wasn’t what you were hoping for. I’ve just sent you an email to help resolve this issue. Feel free to reach out to shannon@birdmoss.com if you need further assistance.
Beautifully Packaged. Every order is like opening a magic box.
Love your imagination and creativity. The have been fun to open.
When I originally purchased the freshwater moss, it never arrived (no fault of the company). When I let them know what happened, they immediately shipped out a new package. It arrived in wonderful shape! I absolutely love it. I took it to work and it is perfect on my desk! Will definitely order from this company in the future! Beautiful products and amazing customer service!
Love the freshwater moss. So calming to look at.
Very cute, just wish it came with a little note on how to care for it
Loved putting this together!!
This moss is so lovely and the idea of putting it in a little jar with decor is so cool! I enjoy looking at it daily to see if it is getting greener.
I adore the freshwater moss kit! It is so delightful and magical!
The entire box was packed with care. The freshwater moss, a gift for my daughter is healthy & doing well😀 She’s not home yet from her vacation & has no idea I bought it for her.
Thank you, Shannon
I absolutely love my Freshwater Moss bottle! It was fun to put together and I love the way it looks! Living magic in my home!
I got this Freshwater Moss about four months ago and it still looks great and I love looking at the magickal little world inside the jar. I like it on my windowsill above my sink, but I do move it around from time to time so it doesn't get too much sun. I love living in Birdmoss. I add and take away tiny crystals when I change the water, so it's always a little different.
The bottle sits on my desk and reminds me of the magic, mystery, and unlimited possibility that you can discover in tide pools. The little shells inside and the vibrant green moss are a time capsule of life and endless wonder sitting in front of me.
