Container size is: (18cm x 11cm x 3cm container, contains 2 sheets in container)**
Instructions: Water with distilled, RO (reverse osmosis), or rain water when the moss is dry. Fern moss prefers to dry out a little before being watered. You can tell when your moss is ready to water when it is pale and dry to the touch (DO NOT SMOOSH).
When kept in containers or terrariums, moss won't dry out as quickly either due to surface area or higher humidity. In higher humidity, this moss will become long and sparse. If you do not like this appearance, be sure to keep it in bright, indirect light, where larger plants will not overshadow it. However, it is best to place it near the bottom of the enclosure, as too much light may cause it to dry out/burn.
High quality lighting is required, offering between 6,500k - 7,000k in color for 8-10 hours a day. Make sure you don't leave the grow lights on all the time because the moss needs to rest. Do not expose this moss to direct sunlight (it will cause bleaching) be sure to place on ground, it does not grow as efficiently on backgrounds and woods.
