Although the branched, frondlike foliage of this species somewhat resembles moss, it is in fact a leafy liverwort.

This plant is stunningly beautiful when observed up close.

The leaves are extremely tiny, divided, and closely bunched together, which gives it a woolly texture.

Culture

This species seems to do best when it’s very moist or even wet

It prefers very high humidity.

Low to medium intensity of light is best; bright light tends to make it go pale. However, the less light it receives, the slower it grows.

A good substrate is bark, mixed with Sphagnum moss, to increase and stabilize moisture and humidity levels.
