Tips for Success:

• Grow in an east or west window or under lights.

• Avoid growing areas with hot noon day sun.

• Bring the moss to near dryness between waterings,
  then thoroughly saturate the moss (it’s better to under
  water a little than over water).

• To bring into flower, subject the plant to temperatures in
  the high to mid 50’s at night for a period of four weeks.
  This is most easily done in the fall.

• Fertilize only lightly and then only during the active
  growing season which is usually spring to fall.

• For long term growth, use a clay pot. Clay will ensure a
  quicker drying time for the moss and in turn will keep
  the roots healthy.
