This low-growing, mat-forming evergreen thrives in cooler, mountainous terrains. For alpine club moss, judicious pruning is key to maintaining health and vigor. Trim lightly to remove damaged or diseased fronds, ideally in spring when growth is resuming, or during the active growing season in summer. Fall clean-up may be beneficial but avoid heavy pruning, which can stress alpine club moss. Regular pruning enhances air circulation, sun exposure, and reduces pest incidence, ensuring a compact and attractive habit.
