Bringing the outside in pt. 4: moss

August 25, 2009 · Posted in Home decor

If you don’t exactly have a green thumb, a moss plant could be the perfect answer to bring a little of the outside in. Though moss is typically a plant that thrives in damp, dark places, designers have been using moss in their design schemes to infuse life into rooms. As long as the moss is kept out of the window and moistened every once and a while, it can thrive in almost any space. Another popular approach is to dry the moss and no maintenance is required at all.
