Campylopus introflexus
Campylopus introflexus
Heath star moss is a cushion-forming moss that grows well in acidic, peaty, or sandy soils in shaded to partially lit conditions. Keep the substrate evenly moist and avoid alkaline soils or standing water, which can cause decline. It is an excellent choice for naturalistic moss gardens, terrariums, or as a ground cover on heathland-style landscapes, though note it can be invasive outside its native southern hemisphere range.
