DUSPRO Green Forest Moss for Crafts, Real Dried Decorative Moss, 2 oz

THIS is one of the most unique products I've bought on Amazon. I was a bit hesitant after reading some of the reviews, but this is the MOST beautiful, realistic moss I've ever seen. You just have to spend a little time to "unpack" it. Here's what I found worked: 1) Put on gloves. This stuff WILL spread green on your hands. 2) Work over your kitchen sink, it will scatter all over once it starts expanding. 3) It comes in a kind of layer cake. It looks small, but yields a lot. Get a spray bottle with warm water. Start spraying the outside of the cake with the water. 4) Work at the top of the cake with your fingernails (in gloves!) It will start to peel off in layers. 5) Spray each layer a little more, then pull it off. **Have a colander ready to receive the pieces you pull off- line it with a paper towel. 6) Fluff up the pieces you pull off. 7) Continue working the top layer of the cake until you have the amount you need. 7) Place the colander with the moss out in the sun to dry for an hour or so. You could also use a blow dryer if no sun is available. Note: I know some folks have commented on the smell, but I found it to smell like fresh spinach when wet. Not a big deal. The smell was gone once it dried. Is it worth this preparation? YES!!! The result looks like freshly gathered real moss, straight from the forest. It looks great at the base of artificial plants and in a terrarium. I only used about 1/4 of it and wrapped up the remainder in Glad Wrap. I appreciated the nice note that came with the moss from the owner of this small, family-owned company. Just get it! The shades of green are natural, nuanced, and look absolutely real.

Used it make my faux plant look real. Filled the bot with paper bags and used a glue gun to glue down a layer of moss. You get a WHOLE lot for the price. I have more than enough to do a plant or two more. I followed the directions provided for rehydrating the moss. I dried it in my sunroom. The greenery smell from the natural dye is a bit strong when went so outside, a garage, or sunroom is the best place to let it dry. Once dry you can smell it if you purposely sniff it but it doesn’t smell up the room or anything. Love the product. The only thing I was confused about is I bought it because it says it was faux but it seems real to me LOL maybe it’s just take good or I am confused. Either way it worked really well for my intended purposes.

Exactly what I was looking for! This is for the base of my olive tree and it expands to a good amount. Vibrancy of the color is nice! good quality!

I have only just tried this moss for my craft and I like the way it looks, but it is a bit fragile for what I do. I will keep working with it because it has a much more natural look to it than the preserved moss.

This moss is great! I like the variation in colors (many greens and hints of brown). There’s a lot of product once it soaked, pulled apart, and fluffed. Mine is still damp, so I it may fluff up more once it’s fully dried. I laid it out to help it dry, and it has nicely filled a 2’(h) x 3’(w) x 1 1/2”(d) tray. Wear gloves unless you want green hands (they use leaf extract for the coloring). I’m not sure if this would maintain its color if left in the rain. The color may bleed out entirely, and one would be left with whatever the original color is, but a spray of clear coat might work 🤔. If I try that, I’ll try to remember to update this review. Oh also, I purchased the 10oz package.

Some of the best moss I’ve bought. Needed filter for centerpieces and it was a perfect green. I allowed it to soak for a while and it turned out to be a lot more than I was expecting. Careful though it might stain your fingertips green.

I did not read the whole description and was NOT prepared for how bad this stuff stinks haha. I had to leave it outside because it smells too bad to be in the house. After soaking it in water a lot of very intense dye comes out in the water and it stains really bad so be cautious of where you dump the water after soaking the moss. Between the smell and the staining, I don’t love this product. But, you do get a great amount of moss for the price, and it does look pretty!

This moss expands by hundreds of times when you wet it....which I thought was the point because it's in an extremely compacted airtight package. Part of me feels like the listing advises that you can easily just pull the moss apart when it's dry... and to keep the moss dry once you style it....is just to avoid you noticing the insane amount of dye. The packaging is simply far too compacted to allow the moss to be pulled apart easily and still look nice. It has to be moistened and expanded. The amount of dye in this moss is truly astronomical. It shows up dark green, almost black. If you get it wet, it will absolutely stain whatever surface it's on, so be very careful about this. My hands were stained but it went away after I washed my hands with soap a few times. I had to wash the moss about ten times before the moss stopped bleeding. I know the listing states that it is safe for you surround plants and pets because the dye is plant derived, but this is an insane amount of dye, you don't know it's source, and I personally wouldn't feel comfortable using this around plants or pets because of that. All of that being said...the moss is nice quality and retained almost all of its green color with almost zero issue...you may want to consider using less dye in your product, because it IS nice. There were only two twigs in the entire cube.

Very good quality and easy to work with. Wear gloves as the dye will stain hands. It’s a very dyed moss so I wondered if the moss might look too artificially green compared to the real plants but it seems to look good. It’s pure moss. I found one tiny wood chip but otherwise no contaminants which was great. The handwritten note from Lucy was a nice touch to show they care about their product.

Excellent quality & quantity. Looks great on all my projects

Esta muy bien el musgo, lo utilize para un terrario autónomo y aún sobró demasiado.

using it for dnd minis and crafts! it's definitely moss!!!

The perfect shade of moss for my projects!! Make sure you wear gloves when soaking in water as some of the dye comes off but it’s expands wonderfully and I have plenty for future projects
