Common Names: Broom Moss, Wind-swept Moss

Scientific Name: Dicranum scoparium

Natural Habitat: Commonly found in forests, on logs, rocks, and moist soil across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. Prefers shaded, moist, and slightly acidic environments.

 Dicranum scoparium is a resilient, dense moss with a unique “broom-like” appearance, perfect for terrariums, paludariums, and bioactive setups. Its robust nature makes it a great choice for beginners and experienced enthusiasts alike.

 

Maintenance Tips

Trimming: Prune as needed to maintain shape and control spread. Gently use small scissors.

Cleaning: Remove dead or yellowed areas regularly to keep it healthy and vibrant.

Pests: Rarely affected by pests but inspect occasionally for mold or fungal growth, especially in high-humidity enclosures.

 

Common Issues

Yellowing or Browning: Often a sign of too much light or insufficient humidity. Adjust accordingly.

Drying Out: Mist more frequently if the moss appears dry, especially in low-humidity conditions.

Mold Growth: Ensure proper ventilation and avoid over-watering. Use White Springtails or Orange Springtails to manage mold.
