The unit for making Sphagnum bog on the roof of building, which is set on a shallow pool. Four clumps of Sphagnum put in the four holes on the foam unit vigorously grow during spring and summer seasons to the extent filling the whole upper surface of the unit even in Metropolitan Tokyo. The greenish moss turns to brown in winter season. We enjoy the dramatic change of the moss color from winter to spring!
