Pocket moss thrive in environments that mimic their natural habitat, which often includes shady, moist areas. They prefer indirect lighting and consistent moisture, with a high humidity level to maintain their lush appearance. Temperature-wise, pocket moss are adaptable but favor moderate conditions without drastic fluctuations. They grow naturally on a range of substrata, implying a need for well-draining yet moisture-retentive soil when cultivated. Challenges in caring for pocket moss include warding off pests such as aphids and coping with rot if overwatered. During different seasons, pocket moss require attention to humidity and moisture adaptations, ensuring they are not subject to prolonged dryness in summer or cold drafts in winter.
