Thanks! That's it, down to where it grows. I'm near Brevard, NC. Odd they call it a moss. It's about 5=6" tall

Hey, Lee! Sorry for the late reply....I only stop by this Forum every few days or so. Anyhow, you'll have to forgive me but I know very little about moss species. I certainly love moss-habitats, though. As to your question regarding moss companions, I must recommend ferns! Since we are in a similar zone (7/8), I imagine that some of my fern species would work well for you, provided that these ferns are available. My favorite fern is Woodwardia fimbriata, the Giant Chainfern. Yes, it does consume a fair amount of water, but it is a fantastic plant that will help create a moist micro-climate in its immediate vicinity. As the name implies, this fern is a GIANT within four or five years. Three year-old plants are typically three feet tall by three feet wide. Under perfect conditions, Chainferns can grow to nine feet!!! (More often, six feet by six feet). So, if you have a big focal point, you might consider Woodwardia fimbriata. My next two suggestions are drought-tolerant ferns, which do quite well for me in northern California. Western sword fern, Polystichum munitum, is excellent for most applications. It grows into a nice, three by three foot mound, with attractive fronds most of the year. It will look ratty for a time, while the old fronds dry up and the new fronds unfurl. I have MANY sword ferns in my yard - I rely on them to fill spaces where other more sensitive plants might fail. The second drought-tolerant fern I recommend is known as Wood fern, or Dryopteris. I'm not sure of the exact species, but these grow superbly in dry oak woods (thus, wood fern, *dryops* meaning 'oak'). This fern is lighter green in color than the sword fern, and the fronds are more delicate. Generally, this fern only grows to about two to three feet. I grow them along the edge of the lawn, staggered with sword ferns, and as focal-pieces beside mossy oak-trunks/stumps or nice rocks. I also have several staged beneath redwoods and birches. I have about twenty of them, I'd guess (last time I went out to count, I was side-tracked by something or the other). In direct sunlight, they might stay rather compact for the first few years. To counter this, you might consider growing them in partial shade until they've sized up - either in-ground, or in containers. There are TONS of Dryopteris species, so you'll have to search around. I think mine *might be* Dryopteris spinulosa, but I could be wrong. Lastly, I'll recommend a fern that is new to me: the Alaskan fern, Polystichum setiferum. While this fern looks incredibly feathery and delicate, it is quite hardy....down to zone 5, I think. I have one in a container on my front deck, where it receives only post-noon sunlight. Mine has fronds approximately two feet long. In the summer, it is protected from direct sunlight by a large maple tree. I still haven't found the right place for it in the yard. I'll probably buy several of them this spring, as they are incredibly attractive. Josh

Got any close up photos? Also need some idea as to what size it is. Also what state is it growing in.

"Totally" enclosed would be a death sentence for most plants -- especially in such a small terr. In providing sufficient light, the terr is likely to reach killing temps. Then there is the issue of mold ... stagnant air is perfect for such. (And almost without exception, orchids detest stagnant air -- even those which like high humidity.) IME, you'd be better off not doing a sealed terr. TM is spot on with regards to your having very limited options. Selaginella brownie and most true mosses are among the few plants that will stay really small. (Most other Selag could get too large without maintenance.) There are a number of micro-mini orchids, but your challenge there will be providing enough light without overheating the terr. There are also some Tillandsia species that stay quite mini, as well as Epipremnum Pincushion which maxes out at around 3-4 inches tall and is more of a clumper. Downside with that latter suggestion is that it isn't terribly easy to find. I sell off divisions of mine every so often to a gent who sells largely to folks in the pdf trade. He happily snaps them up whenever I offer them to him. Epipremnum Pincushion You could also look for Cryptanthus. There are some nice colorful ones. Some stay short but even those do have a spread of about 5-6" when mature.
