Porella platyphylla
Porella platyphylla
Porella platyphylla is a robust leafy liverwort best suited to terrariums, vivaria, or shaded moist rock gardens where humidity is consistently high. It prefers indirect or filtered light and must never be allowed to dry out completely, as desiccation quickly damages the foliage. This slow-growing bryophyte is a striking textural addition to naturalistic displays and needs no fertilizer to thrive.
