A small plant with tiny, soft leaves forming a moss-like green mound – it loves humidity and soft light and suits shelves and terrariums.
Description
Spikemoss is a small plant from an ancient lineage, with tiny leaves on star-like branching stems that form a soft, moss-like green mound. It loves humidity and soft light, and suits shelves, terrariums and bright, humid spots in the home.
Why spikemoss?
- A unique, soft, moss-like texture.
- A small size for shelves and terrariums.
- Lives in low to medium light.
Where to put it
On a shelf in a bright kitchen or bathroom, on a desk, or inside a terrarium, in soft indirect light, away from direct sun and AC vents.
Care in the Saudi climate
- Light: low to medium, no direct sun.
- Water: keep the soil constantly moist, never waterlogged; don't let it dry out.
- Humidity: dry AC air is its biggest challenge; use a wet-pebble tray or terrarium, or group it with other plants.
- Feeding: very light and diluted in the growing season.

Three things to get right.
Lighting
Likes soft to low indirect light. Direct sun quickly burns its fine leaves.
Watering
Keep the soil evenly moist without drowning it, and never let it dry out.
Temperature & humidity
Room temperature with high humidity suits it; dry AC air is its biggest challenge.

Keep the soil constantly moist but not waterlogged – spikemoss can't take drying out, and its leaves shrivel quickly in dry air.
Stand it on a tray of wet pebbles, group it with other plants, or grow it in a terrarium or open glass bowl. Keep it away from AC vents.
In soft indirect light: a shelf in a bright kitchen or bathroom, or the office – away from direct sun.
