Red-stemmed peat moss thrives in consistently wet, acidic conditions and indirect or filtered light, making it ideal for terrariums and bog gardens. Keep it saturated with rainwater or distilled water, as tap water minerals can harm it. It grows best in cool to temperate conditions and is widely used as a substrate for carnivorous plants and orchids.
