Sphagnum magellanicum
Sphagnum magellanicum
Magellanic sphagnum moss thrives in consistently wet, acidic conditions and should never be allowed to dry out completely. It prefers indirect or filtered light, making it well-suited for terrariums, bog gardens, or as a moisture-retaining medium for other plants. Use soft, low-mineral water such as rainwater or distilled water to prevent salt buildup.
