FAQ
How to take care of my moss wall art and products?
All BEMOSS® products are handmade in the U.S. Moss artworks and walls are made from 100% natural material that has been stabilized using a special preservation method in a stabilizing solution. Thanks to this, all moss artworks, moss walls, and stabilized plants are maintenance-free, requiring no daylight or water to survive.
The lifespan of BEMOSS® moss artworks and walls is several years. To ensure the longest durability of your product, please follow these care instructions:
→ Avoid exposing the moss artwork or wall to direct sunlight as much as possible. Direct sunlight can cause slight fading of the natural pigment used in the stabilization process.
→ Do not water, spray, or mist the moss artwork or wall. Moss and plants are no longer living organisms and do not need water to survive. Contact with water can lead to irreversible damage.
→ Moss artwork or walls require indoor humidity between 40%–60%. We recommend purchasing a small hygrometer to monitor the humidity level. You can find these in our e-shop under the Air Humidifiers section.
→ Moss artworks and walls can be made in custom sizes, not just in standard sizes available on our e-shop. Just email us at eshop@bemoss.eu and we will promptly send you a price quote.
→ We can deliver moss artworks or walls in wooden or aluminum frames of various styles, as well as in a frameless version. The artwork is hung from the back side using pre-installed hooks.
→ Moss artworks are usually delivered within 2–3 business weeks, depending on production capacity and order complexity.
→ Moss is a natural product not created by humans, so natural irregularities in shape, structure, or color variation are a sign of its authenticity and not a defect. Images are illustrative only.

Should moss walls be watered?
NO! We are writing a firm NO here, because on the internet, especially from poorly informed “self-proclaimed experts” on moss wall production, you might find advice suggesting to occasionally spray water on your moss artwork.
This is unfortunately a major misconception, and it deeply saddens us that such so-called “manufacturers” even exist.
Why is this such a problem? Moss is treated during the stabilization process with minerals, salts, insect-repelling agents, and of course, color. All these elements remain on the surface of the moss, so if you start watering or misting your moss wall, you’ll gradually wash away these important compounds — including the color. (And no one wants that!)
So, no water whatsoever!
Does moss wall art collect dust?
A common question is whether moss walls collect dust. The answer is yes — moss walls or artworks are physical products, so dust does settle on them. However, what’s interesting is that this dust settles on moss surfaces in much smaller amounts than on other interior surfaces. This is because moss constantly interacts with humidity. As humidity levels rise and fall throughout the day, it causes a gentle airflow that prevents dust from easily settling. That’s why dust typically only starts to appear after about 18–24 months.
We recommend a simple preventive measure: once every 3 months, use a hairdryer with cold air to blow over the moss wall or artwork. This will remove micro particles before they become visible.
