Interest in terrarium

  • Aesthetic aspect: They bring a touch of nature and freshness to your terrarium, creating a miniature micro-landscape.

Exposure and temperature

  • Exposure: Lycopodium moss balls prefer shaded or partially shaded locations. Avoid exposing them to direct sunlight.
  • Temperature: They adapt to a wide range of temperatures, but prefer cool, humid environments.

Watering

  • Frequency: Water regularly to keep the substrate slightly moist. However, avoid excess water which could lead to rot.
  • Method: Mist the moss regularly to maintain high humidity levels.

Substrate

  • Composition: Use a light, well-draining substrate, such as a mixture of blond peat and perlite .
  • Preparation: Before introducing the moss ball into the terrarium, rinse it carefully with clean water to remove any impurities.

Fertilizer

  • Low Requirements: Lycopodium moss balls have low nutritional requirements. Fertilization is generally not necessary.

Multiplication

  • Division: Propagation is done by dividing the clump. Carefully separate the moss into several pieces.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Drought: A lack of water can quickly dry out moss.
  • Excess water: Excess water can lead to root rot.
  • Direct Sun Exposure: Sunlight can burn the foam.
  • Substrate too compact: A poorly drained substrate can retain water and encourage the development of diseases.
