Water
Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 1-2 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months to prevent root rot.

Watering, pruning, propagation, and repotting details from plant data
Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top 1-2 cm of soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce watering frequency during the cooler, dormant months to prevent root rot.
Pruning is generally not required for Ledermanniella thalloidea, as it maintains a compact growth habit. If any dead or damaged leaves appear, remove them promptly with clean scissors to maintain plant health and appearance.
Propagation is best achieved through stem cuttings. Take 5-10 cm cuttings from healthy stems in spring or summer. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and plant in moist, well-draining potting mix.
Maintain high humidity and warmth for successful rooting.
Repot your Ledermanniella thalloidea every 2-3 years or when it becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining potting mix. Repot in spring before the active growing season begins.
Choose a pot only slightly larger than the current one.
