Purple-margined liverwort
Reboulia hemisphaerica
The only species within the genus of Reboulia hemisphaerica, the purple-margined liverwort grows only during the winter when it can receive the required moisture and when competitive plants are dormant or absent. It's considered a very complex species, and it can have considerable variations in its reproductive makeup. Some plants may have both male and female organs on the same branch, while others may only have one or the other.

Basic Care Guide
Lighting
Partial sun
The purple-margined liverwort requires a moderate degree of exposure to the sun, deriving from its origins in semi-lit environments. While the plant has the ability to hold up under less than optimal lighting conditions, an absence of adequate sun exposure can interfere with the plant's healthy growth, disrupting its growth stages. Overexposure or underexposure to natural light can cause harm to the plant.

Common liverwort
Common liverwort (Marchantia polymorpha) Is a subtropical ground covering plant with forked branches that will grow to 10 cm long. It does not produce flowers nor seeds. Considered a weed in gardens and lawns, it forms a dense carpet over the ground and reproduces by spores. It is fire tolerant and has been useful in woodland restoration projects to help deter ground erosion.
Great scented liverwort
Often found on damp rock structures, great scented liverwort prefers to grow where it has constant moisture without being soggy. It gets its common name for its faint odor of urine, which occurs because it soaks up nitrogen and sulfur from its habitat.
Fragrant macewort
Fragrant macewort grows in scaly, low-lying mats on sandy soil in temperate climates. Though not particularly pretty to look at, it does have a distinctive, pleasant smell, though the smell is not always strong enough to detect.
Silvergreen bryum moss
Silvergreen bryum moss (Bryum argenteum) is a moss species found on all global continents, even Antarctica. Silvergreen bryum moss is also referred to as silvery thread moss. It is often spread on the soles of people's shoes or on the feet of animals.
Verrucariaceae
You're likely to come across members of the verrucariaceae genus growing on rocks since this is their natural habitat. Most species grow in dry conditions, although a few are water tolerant and can be found on rocks in and around rivers and water. This genus of fungi is mainly *lichens* that are able to grow on and in the outer surface of rocks.
Common Duckweed
Common Duckweed (Lemna minor) are the smallest flowering plants on the planet. The plant is an important food source for both fish and waterfowl. Common Duckweed is used to counteract the effects of agricultural runoff because it removes excessive amounts of nitrogen and phosphorus from waterways.
Orobus-seed liverwort
A member of the liverwort family, orobus-seed liverwort (Targionia hypophylla) sports distinctively broad, flat, textured green leaves. The leaves split at the end, somewhat resembling forked tongues. It prefers a Mediterranean climate, but because it is found in such a wide range of habitats, there is discussion whether this plant should properly consist of one species or several.
California perianth liverwort
The leaves of this species are pale green dorsally and have purple ascending margins and dark purple undersides. They also have thallus edges that tend to curl upward, exposing the dark underside when dry. The thalli are simple or somewhat sparingly (1-3 times) dichotomous, and 8 to 25 mm long. The ultimate segments are emarginated, obovate, obcordate, or broadly oblong, indistinctly areolate, and 4 to 12 mm in maximum width.

1. Choose the right type of artificial light: LED lights are a popular choice for indoor plant lighting because they can be customized to provide the specific wavelengths of light that your plants need.
Full sun plants need 30-50W/sq ft of artificial light, partial sun plants need 20-30W/sq ft, and full shade plants need 10-20W/sq ft.
2. Determine the appropriate distance: Place the light source 12-36 inches above the plant to mimic natural sunlight.
3. Determine the duration: Mimic the length of natural daylight hours for your plant species. most plants need 8-12 hours of light per day.
