Brachythecium rutabulum
Brachythecium rutabulum, commonly known as rough-stalked feather-moss, is a vigorous pleurocarpous moss suited to shaded, moist environments such as woodland gardens, terrariums, or living walls. It grows on soil, rocks, logs, and bark and requires consistently moist conditions with indirect or filtered light to stay lush and green. No fertilising is needed; simply maintain adequate moisture and humidity for best results.
