Carpet Moss

Premium Brocade Moss (Hypnum imponens) – Available in 480ml & 1000ml Punnets

Also known as Sheet Moss or Carpet Moss, Hypnum imponens (commonly referred to as Brocade Moss) is a lush, lateral-growing moss that can also climb vertically over rocks, wood, or hardscape when conditions allow. Its soft, velvety structure and dense coverage make it a top choice for terrariums, paludariums, and tropical enclosures.

This is the premium grade, meaning it’s hand-sorted, clean, and full-bodied—ideal for detail-oriented builds and display work where appearance and performance matter.

Lovingly sourced from Tasmania and packed into compostable punnets by a horticulturist with a strong commitment to sustainability and habitat respect.
