Polytrichum strictum
Bog haircap moss thrives in cool, moist, partially shaded environments such as bogs, tundra, and woodland edges. Keep it consistently humid and never allow it to fully dry out. It is best suited for outdoor terrariums, moss gardens, or bog landscapes rather than conventional indoor settings.
