This moss is well-suited for rock gardens or terrariums where it can receive partial shade and consistently moist, yet well-draining, loamy or peaty soil. Its low water requirement makes it relatively drought-tolerant once established. As an evergreen, it provides year-round visual interest. It is not known to be fragrant, attract pollinators, or be toxic.
