Freshwater Moss

In some spots, the Lake resembles a glass paperweight. Its underwater flora is temporarily still. The Elder Turtle gives you a small sample of the Lake's moss and supplies for its habitat so that you can examine it more closely. Rinse the stones before adding them to the vial and provide the moss with dechlorinated or spring water. Your planted jar kit includes:  java moss; a jar to plant it in; pebbles, sea glass, and shells to decorate the jar; and a stick tool to help arrange it all. Please note:  Unpack your moss as soon as it arrives.  Java moss is relatively resistant to both cold and heat, but it should be removed from the dark packaging and kept in a bowl of water until you are ready to assemble your kit.  Some brown segments on the moss are normal, especially after a cold, dark trip through the mail.  Any soft black bits should be trimmed away before assembling your jar.  If your moss has significant soft black spots, it may have spent too long in freezing temperatures; please
