Toothed plagiomnium moss thrives in cool, shaded, and consistently humid conditions, making it ideal for terrariums or woodland-style displays. Keep the substrate moist at all times and avoid direct sunlight, which will dry it out and cause browning. Mist regularly and maintain good humidity for best results.
