I do not believe this is live moss. It says it's "decorative" moss and is for househould plants, hobbies, and crafts. I did a hotel renovation and used it to cover up the foam base of fake potted trees and bought way too much. It's dry and has been in storage for about a year with no change in appearance or density. I would say this what you're looking for. Let me know if you need any more information =)
