Fissidens limbatus
Also called Fissidens Moss
Herzog's pocket moss is a small, tufted moss that forms low green or reddish patches on shaded banks, mineral soil and rocks. It is grown mainly as a shade-loving groundcover or terrarium plant, where it needs shade and steady humidity.
Fissidens limbatus commonly known as Herzog's pocket-moss, is a moss in the family Fissidentaceae. This species is found growing in high elevations in tropical America (especially along the coastal regions of Bolivia) in addition to the US, Mexico and Canada. Montagne first collected F. crispus in 1838.
The species grows in shaded, basic to slightly acidic environment on banks or mineral soil. F. limbatus sometimes grows directly on rocks in sheltered but not wet sites at elevations up to about 1000m.
