Description
Pads of the moss species Leucobryum glaucum, the Large White-moss or Pincushion moss, are called Cushion moss in the trade. This moss occurs naturally on acidic forest soils. The thick, bulging cushions are glossy light green when moist, whitish when dry. The diameter of the individual pads can vary. In total, a 500 ml-portion can cover approximately 20 x 15 cm ground. Sometimes other forest moss species can be found in the cushions of the Large white-moss.
The living cushion moss pads are a popular natural decoration material for humid terrariums. They gradually evaporate the absorbed water and thus contribute to an evenly humid microclimate. This cushion-forming moss is ideal for cool-temperature forest terrariums, but can also last a long time in tropical terrariums. A prerequisite for a long life is regular moistening with soft water. However, waterlogging should be avoided to prevent rotting. Due to the acidic pH and nutrient-poor conditions, peat is particularly well-suited for cultivating this moss.
Lay out the pads on the bottom of the container. You can also use small pieces for this purpose. These can also be used to fill gaps between hardscape elements (wood and stones). Tillandsias and other epiphytic bromeliads can also be placed as unrooted plants in or between the moss cushions. Likewise, you can cover the base of ground plants with the moss, or simply embed the root ball of potted plants between the moss cushions.

Gigantische Portion
Bei mir kam eine gigantische Tüte an, voll mit Moosbollen. Ältere, abgestorbene Teile und etwas Substrat habe ich von unten her entfernt, von oben ist es absolut vital und gesund (so wie das bei diesem Moos eben auch ist und sein soll). Trotz piniblem Abspülen kam mir noch ein sehr schneller, ca. 2cm langer Tausendfüßer im Paludarium entgegen gekrabbelt, den ich entfernt habe.
Das Moos selber sieht sehr attraktiv aus, mag nur nicht direkt unter der Lampe sitzen, wie ich festgestellt habe, da trocknet es an und die Blättchen werden blass.
Decent amount, nice green coherent moss patches, always happy to order again
