Pohlia nutans
Pohlia nutans
Pohlia nutans is a common moss found on acidic, nutrient-poor substrates such as peat, rotting wood, and disturbed soils in cool, moist environments. It requires consistently high humidity and indirect light, making it suitable for terrarium or vivarium setups where moisture can be carefully controlled. Avoid direct sun and allow it to dry only very briefly, if at all, as it has limited drought tolerance.
