Thank you so much for this video! I love reindeer moss. I've collected it since I was little, but never knew how to preserve it. For this information, I am so greatful! I will try it out very soon, as I just happened to have collected some recently. I subscribed, and look forward to watching more of your videos. Thanks again, from NY state in the USA.
I just bought some moss to use for crafts, love everything nature to use for decorating, it was expensive. I was thinking to myself I probably could do my own moss, like you found nothing online showing how to preserve moss.This was interesting and informative, thanking for sharing.
Many types of vegetation can be preserved with glycerin. I have some leaves I picked and preserved more than ten years ago and they are dark, but still flexible. They were in a dark box for most of the time - I think they would not have lasted so long in sunlight.
Last time I bought glycerin it was very expensive. Even if the plants were free it would still be very pricey for crafts or model railroads. Maybe someone knows where to buy low cost glycerin.
Thanks for the tutorial! I still have one question, do you need to dry the moss after collecting from the forest, before putting it into the solution? If yes how do you dry it, and when do you know it's ready to put into the solution? Merry Christmas and a great start into new year!
Great video! Very informative and just what I was looking for. I am in Ontario, Canada, and we have tons of moss, so I am excited to try this. Thanks for sharing & and I love your personality!
Hello Natalia, Great video. in the USA one use for this Lichen moss is for use as trees on model trains, it can get expensive to buy already prepared. Thanks for sharing. Cheers Rob
I live in Alabama & we have lots of reindeer lichen/moss in the woods. I'm going to go get some tomorrow & want to try this. Only thing is I can't find where to buy the glycerol ☹️
Hi Natalia! Up until a few days ago, I had no idea that moss was so popular! I stumbled upon your video by accident and am so happy that I did!! Now that I'm seeing all of the creative things that can be made with moss, I am excited about trying some projects myself! I've located fields of reindeer moss and have gathered way more than I should have, but with our long harsh winters where I live, I figured its better to be safe than sorry! I have a question though.... I have dried the moss very well ... its crispy.... do you think it will be okay stored in boxes the way it is, or will it crumble and turn to dust over time? Dying and preserving it in small batches as I need it sure would be easier than tackling it all at once. Thank You again for sharing your time and knowledge with us!!!
Thanks for your comment! You did everything perfectly :) it will stay crispy and ready to be stabilized. Just be careful and don't smash it by accident, like my 6 year old son did with mine 😅
Thank you so much for your video. I just picked a bunch of moss and I am trying your technique now. I was wondering is your moss still green and soft? I want to make thinhs to sell and Iwant to be sure the moss stays nice. Thank you so much!
Is the moss still looking good? Also, I read that cockroaches are attracted to glycerin! So just to be sure, I've been thinking of something that could stop that. Maybe satin acrylic sealer spray after the glycerin moss is dry? I read about applying hairspray and I guess it has a chemical reaction leading to color loss. What are your thoughts on options? There's not many discussions around preserving plants this way for permanent display.
hello Natalia, you explained that very well. i'm going to try this too. Which road was that where you passed on the way back. Where there was such a beautiful big moss. 🤭👍 really super beautiful. Kind regards, Conny😉👍🍀🌹
Inspiring video! :) I'd love to make some acoustic panels with this moss for our podcast studio. If only we had the same access to reindeer moss here in the states!
wow! I imagine it will look amazing and functional! great idea! Scandinavia is a perfect place to collect this moss, I agree :) but try your luck. Start with a pine forest
Hi! I dont know what area of the states you live, but I am in Northern Michigan and reindeer moss is very abundant here. I googled what type of environment it grows in and that was a big help in locating it. I learned its a lot more plentiful than I imagined.... but then, I never looked for it before.
Yes! I used my solution three times and probably could use more. But is it good to add more paint after each time because otherwise color becomes lighter. And don't forget to heat it. I used microwave
Hey! I am trying to clean and dry some Missouri rock moss for gluing onto a paintball or airsoft weapon for ghillie-like camouflage. What is THE best method to washing and drying moss to keep it not only green, but mailable and not brittle?
I would recommend to wash this type of moss very gently or maybe even better if you just clip the soil and other dirt with scissors. After that, you can stabilize it with glycerol and water as I did in this video, just don't add paint to keep it more natural for better camouflage
Natalia, I have the same question as Tim. I read some where that you have to dry the moss before putting it into the solution. Did you do this? Thanks.

Yeah this type of moss only grows in very high quality air, we have some here but not much

How wonderful! I'm looking to buy preserved mosses here in Brazil, do you know who can send them?
Big Help! Thank you 😊
Can we save the left over glycerin mixture to use for more moss?
What glycerin do you use? Food or something else?
Nice of you to share it. What's the use of glycerol in moss?
Thank u very much.
Cant wait to try it
Wow thank you so much 🇨🇦
Hi Natalia, I’m curious if you be able to use the sabe solution on yoir other moss.

Wow i wish i had a jackpot like that near me lol
Wow!
It's so interesting)!
Thanks))
is glycerine toxic to jumping spiders? I'm planning to put one preserved moss in my jumping spider enclosure
Hello! Is there several type of glycerol. Or we can use what we find in store?
Fantastic
very beatifull
Can you do your next video on moss frames, they will really look amazing!
great idea! definitely will do that!
Can you use industrial alcohol instead of water?
So helpful, thank you so much!
hello Natalia,
you explained that very well.
i'm going to try this too.
Which road was that where you passed on the way back. Where there was such a beautiful big moss. 🤭👍 really super beautiful.
Kind regards, Conny😉👍🍀🌹
Thank you for your good training
Is this the same way to build a moss wall?
Thank you for sharing
After drying it. Is it alive and is ready to plant again
NICE video!

I live in North Alabama and it's all in the woods. Just gotta go looking for it 😉
@@nataliadiy1348 Thanks for the tip!!
@@woodspiritstudio Great advice, D Dodge! We gotta get out there and start searching!
Did the moss in the recycled solution preserve well? Or should the solution only be used once?
That’s what I want to know.. could the preserve be used more then once?
Yes! I used my solution three times and probably could use more. But is it good to add more paint after each time because otherwise color becomes lighter. And don't forget to heat it. I used microwave
Did it work with cold solution? I have a lot of moss and glycerol is quite expensive
What happens if you don't add the dye would it stay the natural color that it was?
can i piut this moss inside the aquarium??
Thank you so much for this tutorial. The best one! I have a question. Can I preserve wild mushrooms following this tutorial?
beautiful. wish i could find these in India
very nice
Hi! Is it essential that the moss is dry or can I also use fresh moss and immerse it in the solution without the dye?
Hi! It is better to have dry moss, but according to theory warm solution should replace cold water from pores anyway. I need to test that))
@@nataliadiy1348 Thanks! 🙏

@@nataliadiy1348 thanks.
Does the moss kept the colour and structure after month? And which sort of Colour die you use? Thank you.
Thank you!
Awesome 👌👌💟
Thank you for your interesting Video. I would like to see more of it ;-)
thanks! It is a pleasure to hear!
Omg awesome ❤❤
Awesome!
Awesome video, just what I needed. Was reusing the same solution ok for the next batch? Does it have the same effect even when reused multiple times?
I used it three times and it worked. But the second time color became lighter, so I added more paint before next recycling
You need to warm up the whole solution?
Natalia, I have the same question as Tim. I read some where that you have to dry the moss before putting it into the solution. Did you do this? Thanks.
Hello, you confirm 3 days in the solutions?.
Ok but how did you clean and dye it??
Very inspiring
I have seen the same method with glyerin and alcohol (1:2), is there a difference between alcohol and water?
I tried both and preferred the one with water. When I did with alcohol paint didn't work well.
@@nataliadiy1348 thankyou very much!
Hello it looks very nice I have a question where can i find it plants, and whether there is a season 😊
🙏🙏🙏🙏
