Taxiphyllum taxirameum, commonly known as Taxiphyllum Moss, has tightly arranged, scale-like leaves. The leaves may turn red when exposed to light. This moss has dense leaf coverage, which helps retain moisture, but it is not recommended to grow in high humidity environments, as it tends to become leggy under such conditions. It grows well on wood and is a very hardy moss. It commonly grows on forest floors, rock surfaces, and in humus-rich areas. It forms dense, flat clumps, ranging from green to yellow-green, with occasional red hues.

Ecological Significance:

Taxiphyllum taxirameum plays an important role in ecosystems by maintaining soil moisture, preventing erosion, and providing habitat for small invertebrates.
