Sphagnum girgensohnii
Sphagnum girgensohnii
Girgensohn's peat moss requires consistently wet, acidic conditions and performs best in terrariums or bog garden setups. Use only mineral-free water such as rainwater or distilled water, as tap water minerals will damage the moss. It prefers cool to moderate temperatures and partial shade, making it ideal for specialty vivarium or carnivorous plant displays.
