One of the primary benefits of incorporating this plant into landscaping is its ability to add a touch of natural beauty and charm. Plants like this have delicate, lush textures that bring a sense of tranquility and elegance to garden settings. Their fine filaments and intricate structures create a captivating visual appeal, especially when contrasted with other plant forms or hardscape elements.

Care
Hedwigia ciliate moss thrives in moist, well-draining soil. Keep it consistently damp but not waterlogged. Regular misting helps maintain humidity and ensures good air circulation around the moss to prevent mold. Avoid putting it in places with heavy foot traffic.
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.
