I just saw this from a customer of mine….I just want to for warn those who may try to do this…preserved moss is just that! Preserved if you try to mix live moss with preserved moss or try to water the preserved moss as shown here…you will get nothing but dead moldy jars of yuck!
I just wanted to let everyone know this before you try this or do try and then never want to try again because of a bad try the first time.
Hope this helps some of you from getting a bad taste in your mouth about the wonderful world of moss.

I’m almost ready to get working on my terrariums, but I still need to get the activated charcoal. Where’d you get yours? I’ve tried a few places, and I have heard you can get it at pet supply stores in the fish/aquarium aisle, though it doesn’t look the same as what I saw on here.
Thank you for all your help! I really can’t wait to get started, these are going to look great in my dorm room.

Can you use baking soda to keep away odors or is charcoal best?

Go ahead and use the moss from outside! It should work great.

Hey Jenny! I know I am commenting on a pretty old article, but I was thinking about making some terrariums this summer while I am off from school so I can bring them back in the fall to decorate my room. I just wanted to know if you had to use store bought moss or if you could use moss from outside? I’m from New Hampshire and there’s plenty of fresh plants and moss in my woods, but I wanted to make sure that using it wouldn’t contaminate my terrariums.
Thanks for your excellent tutorial! I’m excited to get started.
