Plagiothecium denticulatum
Plagiothecium denticulatum
Toothed silk-moss (Plagiothecium denticulatum) is a delicate, glossy pleurocarpous moss well suited to shaded terrariums, vivariums, or moist woodland garden features. It grows best on damp, shaded substrates such as rotting wood, soil, or rock in a humid environment with indirect light. Consistent moisture is essential — allow it to dry out and it will quickly deteriorate.
