Rhytidiadelphus loreus
Rhytidiadelphus loreus, known as lanky moss or little shaggy moss, is a large feather moss native to cool, moist temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere, where it thrives in deep shade on forest floors, logs, and stream banks. To cultivate it, maintain consistently high humidity, cool temperatures, and indirect light, keeping the substrate evenly moist at all times. It is best suited to terrarium displays, shaded rock gardens, or woodland garden settings rather than indoor houseplant condit
