Bryondersonia moss

Spoon-leaved moss is a shiny, green to greenish yellow-brown species of moss with creeping stems and ascending, intertwined branches that form deep mats. It is quite large and striking compared to most moss species. Its most distinctive feature is the smoothly cylindrical appearance of its stems and branches, especially when they are dry. The leaves, which are up to 2.8 millimetres long, are closely overlapping, broad, deeply-concave, and cupped, like the bowl of a spoon The preference is partial sun to medium shade, moist conditions, and a substrate consisting of ordinary soil, humus, rotting bark, or rocky ground with a thin layer of soil over it. At favorable sites, this moss can be long-lived.This moss is great for terrariums.
