Fern Moss - 5 Square Feet

Fern moss has an appealing texture and looks like the miniature version of a fern. However, some of it grow to be quite large. The plant grows in a number of countries and thrives best in rocky areas with shade and damp woodlands and grasslands. It is a pleurocarpous moss, so it will form a thick layer if it's part of a terrarium. If you're a beginner gardener, it is a great place to start.

Fern Moss Is Easy To Grow

It grows slowly and covers anything it comes in contact with. The moss is very thick and has stalks that look like small fern fronds. If you're looking for an evergreen cover for the ground to make your patio, driveway or walkway more appealing, it is an appealing choice. The plant is low-maintenance and makes an attractive compliment to the other plants in your garden. It grows to medium height and needs indirect light. The plant grows best in 60 to 80 degrees F and needs high humidity to thrive. While fern moss thrives best in hardiness zones 1-9 and often grows in Europe, Asia, North America, and South America, the plant also flourishes in parts of Illinois and is seen on tree trunks, stones, and dead tree pieces. It's important that the moss gets lots of water to grow properly. The blooming season is year-round, and it grows up to 6 feet wide when mature.

This Moss Loves To Grow On Rocks

Fern moss needs acide soil. This is why the plant grows easily on rocks and other acidic surfaces. The ideal pH level for growth is between 5.0 and 6.0. This form of moss does very well in several vivarium types. Grow the moss on terrains that are raised from consistent water sources, such as paludariums which are enclosures that are half terrain-based and half aquatic enclosures.
