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.
