Racomitrium Moss Care for a Terrarium
Racomitrium moss, often called rock moss or fringe moss, is a hardy, low-maintenance moss that thrives in terrariums. It has a soft, feathery texture and a beautiful green-gray hue, making it an excellent choice for creating naturalistic landscapes.
🌿 Care Guide
✔ Light: Prefers indirect, bright light or low light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can dry it out.
💧 Humidity & Watering: Needs high humidity to thrive. Mist regularly with dechlorinated water to keep it moist but not waterlogged.
🌡 Temperature: Grows best in cool to moderate temperatures (50-75°F / 10-24°C). Avoid excessive heat.
🪨 Substrate: Attaches well to rocks, driftwood, or soil, making it perfect for both terrestrial and semi-aquatic setups. Ensure good airflow to prevent mold.
🛠Maintenance: Trim occasionally to maintain its shape and remove any browning or dead areas.
Ideal for bioactive terrariums, paludariums, and vivariums, Racomitrium moss adds a lush, natural touch while helping to retain moisture and create a healthy microclimate for reptiles, amphibians, or invertebrates!
