Sphagnum Moss

Sphagnum

Sphagnum moss is a special plant that grows in wet places like bogs and marshes. It's like a sponge that can hold lots of water and helps create new land over time.

Lebensraum: Wetlands

Aussehen

The Sphagnum Moss is a spongy plant, often appearing in shades of green, yellow, or reddish-brown. It forms dense, carpet-like mats, characterized by distinctive compact heads and branched stems. Its puffy texture comes from specialized cells that store lots of water.
