Umbrella liverwort thrives in consistently moist, humid conditions with bright indirect or filtered light — avoid direct sun, which will dry and bleach the thallus. It grows well on damp soil, peat, or bark in a terrarium or shaded outdoor setting. Keep humidity high and water frequently; it will spread naturally to fill available moist surfaces.
