Sagina subulata

Soil: Prefers evenly moist, compost-rich soil. Likes a lot of moisture, but not wet feet. Dislikes both drought and soggy wet soils.
Light: Best in shade that has some filtered sun - Not a good choice for full shade. This plant is happiest when it receives cool sunlight, NOT hot afternoon sun. May need to be protected from hot afternoon sun in the south. May turn brown during summer's hottest days, but greens up again as temperatures fall in autumn.
Water: Needs regular watering, but should not have soggy roots.
Spacing: 6"- 12"
Fertilizing: Annual early spring application of a slow-release fertilizer, or a general purpose garden fertilizer with a ratio such as 16-8-8. Use the fertilizer according to the directions on the label. Always water deeply immediately after applying fertilizer, as the fertilizer may burn the plant's roots.
Winterizing: For a neat appearance, remove old foliage before new spring growth emerges.
Maintenance & pruning: Easily divided in early spring, or fall by ripping up the clump into smaller pieces. In hot, humid summer regions sometimes melts out, and becomes unattractive in mid summer, usually reviving in the fall.
