Peacock Moss thrives in high humidity and low to medium indirect light, making it perfect for terrariums, vivariums, and enclosed displays. Its trailing, spreading growth habit helps it carpet the soil and create a soft, natural woodland look. This is an uncommon plant and not often available in the UK, especially with such vibrant colouring.
✨ Each plant is carefully selected from our current stock. Colour intensity and frond shape may vary slightly – every Peacock Moss is unique and naturally beautiful.
✨ Please note: This species has very shallow, delicate roots, and it may occasionally lift or shift slightly during transport. This is completely normal and doesn’t affect the health of the plant – simply press it gently back into the soil or moss in your setup.
📦 Plants are shipped securely in nursery pots using recyclable and reused packaging materials, and include a scannable QR code for detailed care instructions.
