Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus
Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus
Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus, commonly known as springy turf-moss or square goose neck moss, thrives in cool, humid conditions with consistent moisture and indirect or dappled light. It is well suited to shaded garden beds, terrariums, and living moss walls where humidity remains high. Avoid direct hot sun and allow it to stay evenly moist, as it does not tolerate drought or heat stress.
