How to fertilize Ruby Red Club Moss
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.

What is this on my moss? I am assuming mold? I read online to wipe it down with running alcohol? It’s been in my terrarium. Possibly too humid for it? Roughly around 75% humidity. #RubyRedClubMoss

Iv had mine in a ceramic bowl for a few weeks now, it's almost over halfway Green again, do I wait until it's fully green and hydrated before letting it dry out again? How long do I let it be dry before adding water again? #RoseOfJericho
