Flat Moss - Plagiothecium

Plagiothecium, also known as Flat Moss, is a type of moss that is often used in terrariums and vivariums due to its low-growing, spreading habit and attractive appearance. It typically forms dense mats of bright green foliage.

To care for Plagiothecium, follow these tips:

• Keep the moss evenly moist, but not waterlogged. Mist it regularly or water it from below to prevent it from drying out.
• Provide low to medium light levels, avoiding direct sunlight which can scorch the foliage.
• Maintain a moderate to high humidity level, ideally between 50-70%, to keep the moss lush and healthy.
• Fertilize the moss occasionally with a diluted, balanced fertilizer to promote growth.
• Trim back any overgrown or damaged portions of the moss to maintain its shape and appearance.
• Keep the moss free of debris, such as fallen leaves or dead plant material, which can smother it or promote the growth of harmful bacteria or fungi.
• Plagiothecium can be propagated by dividing the mat into smaller sections and planting them in a new location.
