Sphagnum rubellum
Sphagnum rubellum
Red bog moss thrives in consistently wet, acidic conditions and is best suited for terrariums, bog gardens, or as a companion in carnivorous plant setups. Use only distilled, rainwater, or reverse-osmosis water, as tap water minerals will damage it. Keep it in bright indirect light or dappled shade and never let it dry out.
