## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you grow live moss from it?**
A: That is a great question but unfortunately, the answer is no it will not sprout as it has been dried out.

**Q: Is it good as a top layer on succulents?**
A: As a decorative layer or to keep the moisture in? I am using mine to help keep orchid mix in an orchid basket and it is very dry or very wet. You can always give it a try. If the leaves start rotting, repot.

**Q: Are the strands long enough to pot up neofinetias orchids? Say at least 6 inches in length?**
A: I would say yes. This is compacted medium and you need to add water to the portion you will be using. It will expand at least twice width/length. I used this to pot staghorn ferns in baskets, as they do not require dirt to grow, much like orchids. Great stuff. I think you will be satisfied with this product. My opinion. Hope this helps.

**Q: Can I order without shipping ?**
A: I think so if you have Amazon prime.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐ 







  
  
    Small package (see picture) of moss for almost $47 + return postage $5 = $52
  

*by C***L on Reviewed in the United States on 23 May 2021*

The package is small and no weight at all.  I bought it based on all positive reviews, but there were negative reviews too.  I didn't see any negative reviews on Amazon.  I was foolish to buy such a small package of moss for almost $50.  When I received it, I realized moss is moss.  This product may be better than other product.  But to me, the most important is not what you put in the pot for your plant, it is how you care your plant is more important than this expansive moss.  I immediately return it losing freight charges in total of $20.
