The pleurozium genus, a woodland moss, is an easy-going plant with minimal care needs – thriving in cool, shady environments, moist, well-drained soil, and requiring low light. Care challenges typically revolve around maintaining the right moisture levels, possible pest infestations, mainly by moss mites, and exposure to extreme heat. Seasonally, pleurozium may require more watering in drier months and protection during very hot periods to prevent desiccation.
