How long will this moss keep if not planted right away? How should it be stored?

I kept mine in moist paper towels, wrapped in plastic wrap until I could plant it. I think it was about 2 weeks. It did fine.

Does this moss grow well with very little natural light? I.e. in a dorm space with very little sunlight from the windows.

I believe it does, mine is outdoors at the base of a tree trunk that is growing branches all around it, it now looks like a bush, but my moss is still alive.

Can this be used for a bonsai tree?

Depends on what you mean, as a substrate prob not. Bonsai have pretty specific requirements. Generally akadama and specific bonsai soil. But it would work great for a cover over the dirt, or maybe when you're getting seeds to hatch

Could you give an approximate size in inches to help me visualize how much area this will cover? Thanks!

Hello! The dimensions of the quart sized bag are 6"x9", so it should cover at least that much space- likely more once it's "fluffed out". Hope this helps!

Perfect!

Arrived quickly and in perfect condition in a ziplock bag. Planning to use in a terrarium. Rare to find a seller you can depend on for a quality item. Will be ordering from this seller again. Would not hesitate to recommend them.

Great condition

Received the moss in perfect condition and i actually forgot to open it immediately yet the moss was thriving. There are a lot of sporophytes so I think it is very health and has been doing great for a few weeks now.

Great quality!

This was a nice generous pack of very healthy green moss! I’m so pleased because I’ve ordered from other places and what I received was not near as healthy as this! No brown or dying pieces, just lush green beautiful moss! Thank you!!

So healthy and good size portion

Received this moss a tad late but in healthy green condition and I’m so excited to get it growing strong. This was my fortune buying moss online and I’d definitely buy from this seller again!

Beautiful moss

I love this moss. It is gorgeous and despite getting hung up in shipping for awhile, it was in good health. So far it has stayed that way. *Knock on wood*

Amazing color!!

Amazing color of moss. I ordered some from another seller that was pictured a nice lush green. When it arrived it was completely browned and stayed that way. Could not get it to green. The only issue I had with all 4 orders from this seller is, the knats! After a bit knats started hatching and we’re everywhere. But nothing a little help couldn’t fix.
