Mosslax Planter!

3/17 Edited to

... Read moreSo you've seen my little Mosslax planter and are curious about making your own? After prototyping both my chibi version with fake moss and experimenting with live moss, I've gathered some tips to help you create your own adorable plant friend! It's such a rewarding project, whether you're a seasoned #plantmom or just starting to bring greenery into your space. First off, let's talk materials. For the 'chibi' Mosslax, which is super quick and easy, you'll want some good quality fake moss. I found that different shades of green can add depth! You'll also need tiny tubes – I used floral water tubes, but even small test tubes or repurposed miniature bottles could work perfectly to hold your 'ping flowers' or other small cuttings. A small, sturdy base is essential; think a tiny pot, a smooth stone, or even polymer clay molded into shape. For assembly, a strong craft glue or hot glue gun works wonders to secure the fake moss to your base and around the tube. If you're like me and love the idea of a living Mosslax, the live moss version is a fantastic next step! You'll need actual sheet moss or sphagnum moss. You can often find this at garden centers or even forage for it responsibly. For the plant itself, consider tiny, low-maintenance options. Succulents, air plants (tillandsias), or miniature ferns are excellent choices that thrive in small environments. You'll need a small container within the moss structure to hold the plant's soil or just the plant itself if it's an air plant. I like to create a small cavity within the live moss and line it with a bit of plastic or a tiny pot to prevent soil from escaping and help retain moisture. Caring for your living Mosslax planter is key. Live moss loves humidity, so a light misting every few days can keep it vibrant. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight for most moss types; bright, indirect light is usually best. For your chosen plant, follow its specific care instructions. For example, if you pick a tiny succulent, ensure it gets enough light and water sparingly. Air plants only need to be misted or soaked occasionally. It’s all about finding that balance to keep your little Mosslax happy and healthy. Don't be afraid to personalize your Mosslax planter! You could add tiny pebbles, miniature figurines, or even paint details onto your base. This project is a fantastic way to express your creativity and bring a piece of the enchanting world of Pokopia right into your home. Happy crafting, and I can't wait to see your unique Mosslax creations!

I found a simpler version of the planter we all love. This looks like pallets and the handles look more realistic in the fact that you can connect the pallets to make the curve. Hope this helps. And thanks guys for the love on the post!! #sweetlemonfriends #planters #teacups #outdoorprojects

If your planter doesn’t have drainage holes, line the bottom with LECA or lava rocks. Water can drain from the soil and settle between the rocks. #planttok #planttips
