About Our Moss
Our NEHERP live vivarium moss was the first thing we sold online back in 2009, and was part of what helped put our small family business on the map. To this day, our all-natural vivarium moss varieties remain some of the best selling products we offer. Each variety is absolutely perfect for use in brightly lit, humid live Vivariums & bioactive terrariums. Whether you are looking for a terrestrial species or something that can grow on decor or a background, we've got what you'll need to get it done. If you are new to the process, detailed care sheets containing advice on how to successfully grow our NEHERP Moss are listed at the bottom of each item.

NEHERP Live Terrarium Moss
Thuidium delicatulum
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
This moss is by far one of our best sellers, and is one of the products which helped establish our company. Our live moss is 100% all natural, never dried, and pesticide & dye free. It'll grow upward and outward in well lit vivariums with high humidity. Our moss is is sold pre-processed in resealable bags, and is safe for immediate use in vivariums. Can be mounted epiphytically or terrestrially, depending on the goals for your application. This species is perfectly suited to vivarium conditions. Since 2009, we're the only terrarium plant supplier that pre-processes moss for you! Our moss thrives on either NEHERP or ABG substrate, and can tolerate a wide variety of lighting conditions ranging from partial shade to full sun. Please note that the moss pictured above had about 2-3 months to acclimate, and will require time to grow & become that lush. Please check out our moss caresheet for advice on how to grow it successfully.

A live moss mix slurry made from NEHERP’s custom blend of different species
▾ Show Plant Description ▾
Our live moss slurry is a concentrated blend of different moss & plant species that can be used to initiate growth on different terrarium decor. Our mix will acclimate quickly in most temperate, subtropical, and tropical vivaria when relative humidity averages 75% or higher. It can be successfully planted in crevices in wood/rocks/backgrounds, on tree fern panels, or simply spread lightly over leaf litter or substrate for a slightly grown-in forest floor look as it acclimates. Since our Moss Slurry is prepared using live moss & plants, acclimation will begin to visually occur within just 3-4 weeks in most cases. Once acclimated, the growth will spread to nearby backgrounds, wood decor, and rocks. Depending on the amount of light available to the mix, different species will out-grow others to ensure at least some nice looking growth even in fairly dim areas of an enclosure. (Click for example of low-light growth) For fastest & most aggressive growth, please use our inexpensive LED Vivarium Lighting Kits. Our mix is made fresh every week, and should be used within a day or two of receipt for best results. Click for detailed instructions.

This discounted package deal includes our two best selling varieties of moss. The NEHERP Terrarium Moss does best when planted terrestrially, and has been proven to grow exceptionally well on our Substrate Base Kits. NEHERP Moss Slurry is designed to be grown on hardscape decor like Custom Backgrounds, rocks, and wood decor. Both varieties require access to plenty of PAR light and higher levels of humidity to acclimate properly. For detailed growing advice and to see if these moss types are an appropriate choice for your design, please check each either the caresheets for NEHERP Moss & NEHERP Moss Slurry.

This pillow moss is low-growing, slow-growing, and shipped moist in resealable bags. These are sourced dry, and are rehydrated & kept under high-PAR grow lights in order to encourage swift reanimation. This species is one of our slowest growers, and it's size is easily manageable in any enclosure. Despite it's moderate difficulty level and somewhat unforgiving nature, Pillow Moss is one of the more commonly used varieties in the hobby. Under adequate lighting & with plenty of humidity, this species seems to perform well on either NEHERP or ABG substrate. (Any of our LED Lighting Kits will do!) For best results, don't allow this moss to dry out or remain completely saturated for extended periods of time.

This species isn't a true moss, but it's growth pattern makes it an ideal choice for a moss-like ground cover in humid terrariums. Hemianthus callitrichoides has some of the smallest leaves of any plant commonly grown in a terrarium environment, and forms a solid low-growing carpet after a few months of acclimation. Dwarf Baby Tears requires high levels of humidity to thrive in a terrarium, and does best with frequent misting. It's an ideal species for areas surrounding water features, too! Not recommended for use in less humid environments, or in enclosures which don't use automated misting. Dividing this plant into very small portions & allowing it to spread outward will be the fastest way to create a carpeted look.

This is probably one of the most sought-after "moss-like" species in the vivarium hobby, and is one of Mike's (the owner of NEHERP) favorite plants for ground cover. It will grow directly on our vivarium substrates, but requires high humidity and/or fairly frequent misting to thrive. We've also seen Riccia thrive when planted on Cork, Ghostwood, and Custom Backgrounds, so long as everything is humid & misted frequently enough. Recommended for plant-only terrariums, or vivariums with very small inhabitants, since anything much larger than a dart frog may damage this plant. Also grows well aquatically either floating on the surface, or when pinned down beneath the water. This Riccia is carefully propagated and cell-grown at NEHERP for an absolute top-quality plant.

Every 3-4 inches of available Moss represents upwards of 6 months worth of growth. This incredibly slow growing moss is beautiful, rewarding, and is likely to be available extremely infrequently. Despite having plenty of growth space dedicated to just this species, we can only make a tiny amount available at any one time, since it grows so slowly. We originally acquired this Moss in 2013, in a shipment of Bromeliads shipped to us from Florida. (Likely originally a South American variety!) In our experience, this moss prefers extremely high humidity (70-99% R/H), medium levels of lighting (around 30-75µMol/M²S at the growth surface), and does not tolerate being especially wet or dry. At NEHERP, we grow it in total isolation on sterilized, peat-rich, mildly acidic potting soil with balanced & mild levels of nutrients. A great choice for plant-only terrariums and amphibian vivariums. Not recommended for beginner keepers, but highly recommended for those looking for a very rewarding-but-challenging type of Moss.

Standard Shipping Not Recommended
It is very unlikely your plants will survive if shipped using standard service in these temperatures, and we don't recommend it! You can choose to take that risk by selecting Standard shipping during checkout (the default option), but we won't be able to replace or refund any items if they arrive damaged. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can cheaply ship ground while the smaller perishable box ships express. Sorry, but we do not offer "hold for safe window" service when standard shipping is selected in temperatures this extreme.
Express Shipping
Please select express shipping during checkout, to give your perishables the best chance of survival. We aren't able to offer our guarantee when temperatures are below 20°Fabove 95°F, so our team will hold your order in anticipation of the soonest safe shipping window. If your order is held, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Depending on your input, we'll either ship now (if you don't mind the risk), or hold/reserve for the next available safe (guaranteed) temperature window. We check the weather every morning when we open up, so we'll be sure to ship your order as soon as we safely can. Express-shipped orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!) Only express-shipped orders qualify for our "hold for safe window" service when temperatures are this extreme.
An Express shipping quote is available on the last page of checkout before finalizing payment.
★ Select Express Shipping To Qualify For Our Guarantee ★
Express Shipping: Guaranteed Live Arrival ✓ Standard Ground Shipping: No Guarantee ✗ 40-Hour Heat Pack(s): Included Free ✓ Non-Toxic Ice Pack(s): Included Free ✓
Please select express shipping during checkout if you'd like to qualify for our live arrival guarantee. Orders shipped using standard service in temperatures like these don't carry a live arrival guarantee, and we don't recommend it unless you feel comfortable taking that risk. If you are ordering a bunch of heavier supplies and perishables, it's often cheaper to place two separate orders so that the supplies can ship (inexpensive) ground while the perishables ship express.

You live within a 1-day ground transit zone, so standard shipping is an appropriate option to select during checkout. We aren't able to guarantee shipments when temperatures are below 20°Fabove 95°F, so our team will temporarily hold your order in hopes that a slightly safer temperature window will develop. In that event, we'll email you ASAP to work out a safer shipping schedule & discuss your options. Orders which need to be held due to weather have their products reserved and hold their place in the outgoing order queue. (It's "first come, first served" once we're able to ship!)If you don't mind the drive, you could also pick up your order and save on the shipping cost while mitigating all the associated risks.

We recommend using inexpensive standard shipping! Since you live so close, you qualify for our best shipping guarantee at the lowest cost pretty much year-round. So long as temperatures stay between 20-85°F, we guarantee all shipments will arrive to you in great shape regardless of shipping method. Plus, you'll get everything you order pretty quickly since it only takes a day in transit!
Important:
We do our best to ship supply orders the same or next business day. Plant orders have a 1-3 day processing time, while orders containing other perishables carry a 1-day processing time. Orders containing perishables are carefully scheduled to avoid potentially harmful weekend delays with shipping companies. If you order before a weekend with a shipping option which wouldn't arrive by Friday, your order will likely ship the following Monday. View our full Order Processing Page for complete info.
