☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Soleirolia Soleirolii thrives in bright, indirect light but can also adapt to medium light conditions. Keep it away from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
💧 Water
💧💧💧 (High)
This plant loves moisture! Keep the soil consistently moist, but be careful not to overwater as it dislikes waterlogged conditions. Check the top inch of the soil, and if it feels dry, it’s time to water.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Irish Moss Baby Tears prefer typical indoor temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your plant in draughty areas or near heat sources which can dry out the plant.

This plant is a humidity lover! Ideal for kitchens and bathrooms or any other room with high humidity. It’s perfect for terrariums which naturally boost humidity levels around the plant.
