How to Create a Feng Shui Moss Garden

How to Create a Feng Shui Moss GardenFor all of you who are “plant-killers” (and, egads, there are quite a few of you!) I stumbled upon this wonderful idea to help bring life and greenery into your space: indoor moss gardens.

What I love about these gardens is that they are easy to make, easy to care for and downright cheap! In fact, you may already have the tools required to make one right now.

moss – gather some moss from outdoors – get a little variety if your planter is large enough

a container – a glass jar or bowl works equally well

potting soil works well to act as a substrate for the moss – it helps retain moisture and provides acidity, which the moss requires

any other small nature elements – such as a few cool stones, pine cone, or a small piece of driftwood

How to Create a Feng Shui Moss GardenI just came back from my little hike in the woods and at first, thought, not much moss here. But after walking 30 minutes, I saw so much moss and several varieties.

Maintenance? Just keep it moist. I use a spray bottle with water that makes that a cinch.
