Anyone know why my Thuidium and Eurohypnum are browning? They get sprayed each day and are under a grow light most of the day. Any ideas would be helpful.

Not sure if it is the exact same species as yours but mine likes to dry out a little bit between waterings, so has a good amount of ventilation. Also is sprayed with rainwater thoroughly, which I suppose washes it too.

Seems to be growing quite well for the past year at least. I’ve found if the conditions aren’t quite right they will die back quite quickly, but can grow new shoots readily once favourable conditions return.
Each moss have different conditions but browning is usually because of to much direct light or to much watering.
Between each watering let the moss dry to the point where it’s not wet to the touch but before it gets “crispy”.
As for the light try reducing ideally not the time but the intensity. A light too bright “burn” the moss. If you can’t reduce the intensity, moving it farther from the moss can have the same effect.
