Thuidium favors a shady to semi-shaded location with well-drained, loamy soil. Preparation involves loosening the soil, integrating organic matter, and ensuring proper spacing. Upon planting, water thoroughly, maintaining moist soil without making it waterlogged. Regular check for pests and disease coupled with light pruning will promote healthy growth. Ensure sufficient moisture during dry periods. Though these steps apply broadly, specific species in the genus thuidium may have distinct needs, so research prior to planting is advised.
