Peat Moss

Sphagnum centrale

Peat moss is a special kind of moss that grows in wet places like bogs and swamps. It helps to store water and nutrients for other plants, like a sponge in nature!

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The Peat Moss is a soft, spongy plant forming dense carpets in wet areas. It can appear in shades of light green, reddish-brown, or even pink. Its unique, cushion-like structure makes it visually distinct from most other mosses.
