ADA Moss Bag – Callicostella Prabaktiana Moss is a species of moss that belongs to the family Pottiaceae. It was first discovered in Indonesia and described as a new species in 2016. The moss has distinctive features, such as its small size, triangular leaves, and papillose leaf cells. It grows on moist soil and rocks in shaded areas, often in association with other mosses.

Callicostella prabaktiana is an interesting moss species to study because of its unique morphology and ecology. It may also have potential as a bioindicator of environmental conditions due to its sensitivity to changes in moisture and light availability.

Callicostella prabaktiana prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Use a mix of peat moss, perlite, and sand to create a suitable growing medium.

This moss prefers temperatures between 18-25°C (64-77°F). Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures, as this can cause stress and damage to the moss.

Ways to use

• Put a thin layer of moss on driftwood and wind using the moss cotton.
• You can do the same on a stone as well.
• Use Terra tapa (sold separately) and tie on driftwood and immerse in water
