Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus
Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus
Rhytidiadelphus triquetrus, commonly known as big shaggy moss, is a robust feather moss best grown in cool, shaded, and consistently moist conditions. It is ideal for naturalistic woodland gardens, terrariums, or as a decorative groundcover on moist, shaded soil. Avoid direct sun and dry conditions, which will cause the fronds to desiccate and lose their lush green color.
