Metzgeria furcata
Metzgeria furcata
Metzgeria furcata is a delicate forked liverwort (thalloid bryophyte) best suited to terrarium or vivarium environments where humidity remains consistently high. It grows on bark, rocks, or moist substrates in shaded, cool conditions and requires no soil — simply keep its surface evenly moist and away from direct sunlight. This specialist plant appeals primarily to bryophyte enthusiasts and vivarium hobbyists rather than general home gardeners.
