An adhesive for moss and a method for preparing the adhesive are provided, wherein the method includes steps of: adding melamine, urea, attapulgite and sepiolite powder into a ball milling tank, and adding milling balls into the ball milling tank for ball milling; then collecting ball-milled materials; adding konjac glucomannan, chitosan and collagen into water and stirring, wherein during stirring, half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water; then adding latex powder, stearic acid and ammonium zirconium carbonate, and stirring, wherein during stirring, the other half of the ball-milled materials are added into the water. The adhesive for moss can be used for bonding moss with sufficient bonding effect, which is environment-friendly and will not harm the moss; meanwhile, the konjac glucomannan, the chitosan, the collagen attapulgite and the sepiolite powder which are contained in the adhesive can provide nutrition for the moss.
