Year-RoundBroom Forkmoss is a hardy, commonly used moss species with slender, upright shoots and distinctive forked or feather-like branches. It is often found in various terrestrial habitats. It is perfect for stale areas and works to clean up stagnant water. Moss is a bioindicator plant that is super beneficial for cleaning near moisture.
Adding Broom Forkmoss to your property can provide various benefits now and well into the future. This spongy material spreads quickly along the ground, providing a lush landscape that holds up well in many different environments.
This type looks like your hair after standing outside for too long on a windy day. Of course, unlike your hair, you won't have a tangled mess to get rid of after the weather calms down. This is because it only grows to be a few centimeters high. It typically has a green hue and can be used across your entire yard or in localized areas as you see fit.
One of the primary benefits of having this plant on your property is that it can remove toxins from the air. This can be especially ideal if you are allergic to smoke, pollen, or other irritants you may be exposed to outdoors. In addition, removing pollutants can make the air smell cleaner and fresher, benefiting everyone who lives on your property or nearby.
Another great reason to have Broom Forkmoss on your property is that you won't need to spend money on air filters. You also won't need to waste electricity on indoor or outdoor air purifying systems that may or may not get the results that you want. Even better, since it doesn't grow upwards, you won't need to mow it often or ever. This further minimizes oil or electricity usage associated with a lawn mower or other landscaping equipment.
In addition to removing toxins from the air, it can also help reduce noise. This can be ideal if you have a baby in the house who needs to sleep or wants to hear yourself think after a long day at work.
Height at Maturity
Under 6 Inches
Care
Broom Forkmoss thrives in well-drained, acidic soils. Keep it consistently moist, avoiding waterlogging. Supply good air circulation to stop fungal issues. Regularly clean debris around it to maintain health. Minimal pruning is needed; remove dead or damaged parts as required.
Plant Reproduction
Broom Forkmoss spreads via spores, attaching to surfaces for growth.
Choose early spring or fall when the soil is moist and cool to plant healthy bare-root ferns. You can also use dormant plants to grow year-round. When you arrive, please soak the roots in water for several hours to rehydrate them. Ferns thrive in moist and shaded areas. Dig a hole wide and deep enough to spread out the roots comfortably. Position the fern so the crown (where the roots meet the fronds) is just at or slightly below ground level. Gently backfill with soil firmly around the roots, and thoroughly water to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch for weed control and to retain moisture, ensuring the mulch does not touch the crown. Water during dry periods is used to keep soil moist but not soggy. Avoid fertilizing in the first year, as ferns prefer nutrient-rich soil over direct fertilization.
