Seligeria carniolica
Seligeria carniolica is a tiny, rare moss that grows in patches on limestone rock beside water courses, where it is regularly submerged. It is a wild species and is not grown as a garden or houseplant, so care requirements are largely those of its natural habitat.
Seligeria carniolica (water rock-bristle moss) is a species of moss in the family Seligeriaceae. It is considered globally rare.
Seligeria carniolica has been found in two types of habitat, both relying on water courses in limestone rock where the moss can be regularly submerged. In France the moss grows among calcite crystals that have formed on water-worn limestone outcrops. In Norway and Britain it has been found on limestone or other calcareous rocks in shaded streams where it can be regularly submerged. It can survive in small, isolated populations which can expand after the weather has cleaned rocks of other mosses.
