Sheet Moss

Lighting:

• Light Requirements: Sheet moss prefers low to moderate, indirect light. It can tolerate low light, but it will grow better and more vigorously with brighter, indirect light.

• Vivarium/Terrarium Lighting: Avoid direct sunlight, as it can dry out the moss and cause it to burn. Fluorescent lights or LED grow lights designed for plants will work well for moss in a terrarium or palladium.

Maintenance:

• Trimming: Moss doesn’t need heavy pruning, but if it becomes too thick or starts growing over edges you want to keep clear, you can trim it with scissors. This helps keep it looking neat.

Humidity/Watering:

• Humidity: Sheet moss thrives in high humidity, ideally around 60-90%. This is one of the reasons it works so well in a palladium or terrarium, where the environment is controlled and humid.

• Watering: Keep the moss consistently moist, but not soaking wet. Mist the moss regularly, or use a gentle spray bottle to provide a fine mist of water. It’s important to not let the moss dry out, but also to avoid it sitting in standing water, which could lead to rot.

In summary, sheet moss thrives in high humidity, moderate lighting, and slightly acidic conditions. Regular misting and ensuring good airflow will help it stay healthy and vibrant in your palladium or terrarium setup.
