Cultivation and Propagation

Hygrohypnum luridum is a small, tufted moss that grows in moist, shady habitats. It is propagated by spores or by division of the tufts. It prefers moist, humus-rich soil and partial shade. It is best grown in a sheltered position, as it is sensitive to cold, dry winds. It is also sensitive to drought, so it should be watered regularly during dry periods. It can be propagated by division of the tufts or by spores.
