Reinder Moss

Reindeer Moss, or Cladonia rangiferina, is not a true moss but a lichen, a symbiotic combination of fungus and algae. Its unique structure creates a fascinating, spongy surface, adding an element of texture and contrast to your terrarium or paludarium setup. The reindeer moss displays an intriguing white-grey color that lightens further when dry, making it a striking complement to the typical greenery in your setup. It's a slow-growing lichen that prefers indirect light and requires a moist environment to maintain its soft, spongy texture.
