This delicate, low-growing plant forms dense mats of bright green, needle-like foliage. Its soft, textured appearance makes it perfect for terrariums, vivariums, or as a groundcover in humid indoor displays. Care Guide: Prefers bright, indirect to medium light; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the foliage. Keep the substrate consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Mist regularly to maintain surface moisture and humidity. Use filtered, distilled, or dechlorinated water to prevent mineral buildup. Thrives in high humidity (70–100%). Ideal temperature: 18–24°C. Avoid placing near heaters, drafts, or areas that dry out quickly. Grows well on soil, rocks, or wood, forming soft, dense mats over time. Provide light airflow in enclosed terrariums to prevent mold or stagnant conditions. Common Issues Browning or crispy tips: Usually caused by low humidity, drying out, or direct sun exposure. Yellowing or pale growth: Often from poor water quality or insufficient light. Mold or fuzzy coating: Stagnant air or overly wet substrate—ventilate and adjust moisture. Sparse or slow growth: Light is too low or humidity is insufficient.
