Pointed spear moss thrives in cool, consistently moist environments with indirect or filtered light, making it ideal for terrariums and shade gardens. Keep humidity high and avoid direct sun, which will scorch and dry out the delicate fronds. It grows well on moist soil, rocks, or logs and requires minimal fertilization.
