Philonotis fontana
Philonotis fontana
Philonotis fontana is a semi-aquatic moss that thrives in cool, permanently wet environments such as stream margins, bogs, and wet rock faces. It requires consistently saturated substrate and does best in indirect or filtered light with good humidity. This moss is ideal for naturalistic water features, paludariums, or bog gardens rather than typical container growing.
