Swan's-neck thyme moss thrives in cool, shaded, and consistently moist conditions, making it ideal for terrariums, fairy gardens, or shaded outdoor beds. Avoid direct sunlight, which will dry it out and cause browning. Mist frequently and use rainwater or distilled water to prevent mineral buildup.
