Rhytidiadelphus loreus

Lanky Moss is a soft, green plant that grows in shady places like forests. It looks like a tiny carpet and helps keep the ground moist and cool.

Aussehen

The Lanky Moss has distinctive, somewhat flattened branches that give it a sprawling, fern-like appearance. It forms dense, interwoven mats often shimmering with a vibrant yellowish-green to deep green hue. Its elongated stems are what give it its 'lanky' name.
