Tortula is a genus of mosses that generally manage well in various environments. For Basic Care Needs, they thrive best under partial to full sunlight, with moist but well-draining soil in cooler temperatures. Watering is essential as these plants prefer slightly damp conditions. Common Challenges include susceptibility to drying out, particularly in unfavorable harsh climates. They also compete for nutrients with larger plants. For Seasonal Considerations, during dry seasons, tortula may require more frequent watering, and in winter, protection from extreme cold is important to prevent dessication.
