Great scented liverwort (Conocephalum conicum) is a flat, ribbon-like liverwort that thrives in consistently humid, shaded environments such as terrariums or moisture-retentive rock features. It requires no soil, preferring to grow on damp rocks, bark, or wet substrates in indirect light. Avoid letting it dry out completely, as it is highly sensitive to desiccation.
