Bristly haircap moss is a low-growing, drought-sensitive moss that prefers cool, humid environments with bright indirect light or partial shade. Use acidic, low-nutrient substrate and water with rainwater or distilled water to avoid mineral buildup. It is an excellent choice for terrariums, fairy gardens, or naturalistic rock garden displays.
