Low maintenance & easy to grow
Fern Moss clings to dead trees, old cement statues and sidewalks, and the ground, which is how it got its name. Although its height is less than an inch, it makes up for the difference by spreading out quickly.
It loves places that stay drenched from the rain and the splash-over from streams and rivers. So, although it can get started anywhere from the North to the southernmost part of the United States, it only lives for a short time if a summer drought sets in. The soil requirements for this plant are straightforward to grow.
It is a flowerless plant that grows in thick clumps in shady and moist areas. It has no seeds or flowers but makes a great addition to a dark portion of a garden where you would like some soft greenery to walk on. It's incredibly smooth to the touch under your feet and creates beautiful sections of green on the grounds of trees and rocks. It is typically used for decorative purposes around flowers and trees but can also be used for peat.
Many people must learn that these plants create significant carbon dioxide needed for the planet, even though they do not like flowers. It doesn't have most plants' traditional roots; they hold themselves down using threadlike rhizoids. This plant is attractive and can thrive in many places: on the ground, in tree trunks, in rocks, and on branches. It can even be found on the cement in cities sometimes — many plant growers worldwide associate it with providing peacefulness, stillness, and calm.
It is sometimes used as a lawn in the cloudy, damp Pacific Northwest. It covers areas with green at an even height, requires no mowing, less water than traditional grass, and mostly maintains itself. It was in style in the late 19th century and a trend to grow extensive collections on wood slats consistently watered. Whether looking for a plant you can walk and lounge on, something to cover a cement wall, building a Zen garden, or whatever you desire, it adds a lovely bright green shade requiring little assistance.
It is an evergreen plant known for its ability to grow on just about anything. It grows slowly but will grow on most things, including rock, wood, metal, and anything else. It needs to be shaded in moist areas to grow efficiently. This plant has signature stalks that rise from the base layer, and small leaves come from them. It is relatively low maintenance and may only need a dash of water during a drought. It is a hardy plant that loves and thrives in full sun but easily adapts.
In the right growing conditions, soil type, sunlight, and zone, this plant can double its size in less than one year. Anything that this is planted near will take its look; instead, a log, rock, or path can grow over it and cover it. Over time, as the ground cover matures, it can be broken apart and planted elsewhere. It is a natural transplant.
Fern Moss is a native plant found everywhere in the U.S. except Antarctica. It is thick and dense and has small stalks home to many leaves. It grows well around walkways, paths, rocks, and driveways. It also grows in rock gardens around water gardens, ponds, or shady flower beds. This plant can withstand harsh winters and is easily adaptable. It is used when you need something growing fast because it can cover an area quickly.
