Homalothecium sericeum
Homalothecium sericeum
Silky wall feather-moss thrives in shaded, humid environments on rocks, walls, or tree bark and requires little direct care once established. Keep it lightly moist by misting regularly, especially during dry spells, and avoid direct afternoon sun which can scorch and dry it out. It is an excellent choice for terrariums, shaded rock gardens, or naturalistic moss walls.
