Gymnomitrion obtusum is a small, evergreen liverwort that grows in moist, shady areas. It is propagated by spores, which are released from the spore-bearing structures on the underside of the thallus. The spores should be sown on a moist, sterile medium and kept in a warm, humid environment until they germinate. Once the spores have germinated, they can be transplanted into individual pots and grown in a well-draining, moist soil mix.
