Polytrichum juniperinum
Juniper haircap moss is a resilient, ground-covering moss that grows best in acidic, moist soil with bright indirect or dappled light. It does not require fertiliser and simply needs humidity and consistent moisture to establish into a dense, attractive carpet. It is ideal for terrariums, woodland gardens, and shaded rock gardens.
