Aulacomnium palustre
Bog groove-moss is a wetland moss native to peat bogs, fens, and damp woodland across the northern hemisphere. It requires constantly moist to wet, acidic growing conditions and thrives in partial shade, making it an excellent choice for bog gardens or moist terrariums. Avoid letting it dry out, and use rain water or distilled water where tap water is alkaline.
