What is the most soothing and attractive element in any garden space? Without a doubt, it is moss. It is not just refreshing but can provide an instant mood lift!

While it is impossible to grow moss everywhere, it is now possible to install moss walls or moss panels in any commercial space or even as a part of your home décor. Its delightful color and texture can add to the décor of your space and attract visitors' eyes.

What is moss?

If you are unaware of what moss greenery is, let me tell you that natural moss greenery grows on rocks or humid and damp places with less or no sunlight. Natural moss is food to animals and serves as a protection or home to other plants and insects.

What is a moss wall?

Moss wall is actually an artwork comprising moss – whether it is real, preserved, or fake. While natural moss walls require extensive maintenance and care, preserved moss artworks and moss mats, when used indoors, can sustain for a more extended time with less maintenance. Faux moss panels or moss settings require zero maintenance and provide extra durability, and long life when used in a commercial or indoor setting.

Benefits of Moss Wall in Commercial Spaces

  • Cleaner Air
    Just like natural plants, moss helps cleans stale air. How do you ask? Well, moss tends to absorb carbon dioxide and other pollutants floating in the air. Having a preserved moss wall or moss panel helps clean the air of your premises.

  • Reduce noise pollution
    Moss walls can dampen sounds, thus helping reduce the environmental sound up to 5 decibels. If you have a commercial space that is noisy and loud, you can suppress the mid-to-high frequency noise by installing a natural, preserved, or even an artificial moss wall in your premises. Artificial moss walls are a popular and growing trend among the plantscape industry. Moss walls are displayed in office lobbies, restaurants, hotels or just about anywhere foliage is needed.

  • Promotes overall health
    Indoor moss green walls can have a significant impact on the mental and physical health of human beings. Moss wall interiors help fasten the process of recovery of any wounds or disease. It also helps reduce aging and dry skin by providing humidity control.

Why choose artificial moss?

There are four primary reasons you should opt for artificial moss walls compared to preserved or natural moss.

  1. Less Moisture
    Natural moss cannot survive without sufficient moisture. Real moss requires a minimum of 40% humidity in the indoor air where it is placed. Hence, it is a huge responsibility to ensure the moss is healthy and moist. But this problem doesn't stand a chance with artificial or preserved moss.

  2. Less Maintenance
    Natural moss is an attraction to insects, animals, and other plants. This can lead to irritation and nuisance in your commercial space, such as malls, casinos, banquet halls, offices, shops, and others. You don't need to worry about insects, animals, and other plants with artificial moss panels as it doesn’t attract pests.

  3. More Durability
    Artificial moss settings can be more durable and long-lasting in the long run. It does not need any sunlight, watering, or moisture to maintain itself. Hence, it is the best option for commercial spaces.

  4. No Drying outWhile natural moss is the most prone to drying out, even preserved moss can fade, dry out, or even get burned under direct sunlight. It can get damaged significantly if exposed to sunlight. Cleaning or dusting the preserved moss at regular intervals is also a must. With artificial moss, this is not a necessity.
