Climacium japonicum or "tree moss" is a deciduous moss native to East Asia. This moss owes its name to its tree-like or palm-like growth, which can be put to good use when designing a terrarium scape. The palm moss cannot be permanently cultivated under water, but is ideal for planting in wabi-kusa, terrariums, paludariums, mossariums and the like. It feels particularly comfortable in a moderately moist, low-lime and nutrient-rich substrate and under medium-strong lighting.
