Barbula is a small, resilient moss commonly found clinging to rocky substrates and urban environments. Its leaves typically curl when dry and spread out in moist conditions, displaying a vibrant green hue. Adapted to harsh conditions, barbula can withstand desiccation, reviving quickly after rehydration. Its compact, tufted growth helps it conserve moisture, making it particularly suited to crevices and walls where soil is scarce.
Propagation:
To propagate barbula, use spore sowing, focusing on high humidity and indirect light with temperatures of 15-20°C (59-68°F). Utilize a fine, well-draining substrate like peat and perlite. Maintain sterile conditions and gradually acclimate as growth occurs, following a specific sowing process.
