Moss Amigos, the Original Pet Plant, Completes Provisional Patent on Biosecure Cultivation Process
*SAN JOSE, CA / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2024 /* Moss Amigos, whose simple pet plants provide uncomplicated friendship, has announced it has completed its provisional patent on how it cultivates its pet moss. The company, whose whimsical moss plants include "Amigos" and "Ricos," has designed a closed water system and biosecure facility that cultivates moss without threat of pests or harmful contaminants. In 2024, Moss Amigos plans to use its proprietary process to increase production of its popular line so that it can meet the national demand for little moss friends that provide joy in a jar.
Moss Amigos: The Original Pet PlantsMoss Amigos is a family-owned business that was co-founded by Jared Oliva and William Starr, who envisioned charming moss pet products that would be easy to take care of and promote friendship. Through their own experiences, they came to believe that the indoor plant hobby represents an invaluable link to the natural world, offering a calm break from the overwhelming complexities of contemporary living. Knowing that many individuals avoid taking care of plants because of a lack of time or "green thumb," Oliva and Starr chose moss balls, which require little care. The company's customizable gemstone terrariums, which are designed for customers who love the idea of houseplants but prefer minimal maintenance, have helped Moss Amigos to amass over 65,000 followers on Instagram.
Moss Amigos has innovated new biotechnology for cultivating moss. Its provisional patent, filed in November 2023, is for a unique biomass manipulation process and is the next step in Moss Amigos' national expansion plan. The company has already established a network of over 750 vendors across the United States, allowing it to sell its "Amigos," "Chicos," "Ricos," and "Niños" to thousands of enthusiastic customers around the country. The new cultivation process will ensure that Moss Amigos' line of marimo moss ball substitutes is not impacted by pests or contaminants, ultimately allowing its terrariums to be enjoyed by more people.
Each Moss Amigo is a friendship encapsulated in a sphere of life.
Oliva highlights that in the coming year, Moss Amigos will leverage its new biotechnology as well as involvement in the StartOut and JPMorgan Accelerator to double its retail footprint and introduce a wider range of seasonal accessories and diverse gemstone types.
"Our participation in the accelerator, combined with our patent, has been a game-changer, equipping us with valuable insights, more resources, and increased productivity," he reveals. "We are now ideally positioned to expand our market reach and enhance our product line, bringing more variety and seasonal flair to our customers. It's an exciting time for us as we look to elevate Moss Amigos not just as a brand but as a staple of modern, nature-inspired living."
