Hylocomium splendens
Hylocomium splendens, commonly known as glittering wood-moss or stair-step moss, is a forest floor moss that thrives in cool, shaded, and consistently moist conditions. It grows best in indirect or dappled light and requires high humidity, making it suitable for terrariums, shade gardens, or woodland landscapes. Avoid direct sunlight and allow no periods of drought, as it dries out quickly without adequate moisture.
