Veenpluis kun je in de zand- en veengebieden tegenkomen. Ook in vochtige duinvalleien is veenpluis soms te zien. Veenpluis gedijt het best in een voedselarme, zure omgeving en is bestand tegen wisselende waterstanden. Het gebied waarin hij voorkomt wordt kleiner door ontginning en ontwatering. De plant is een belangrijke voedselbron voor het veenhooibeestje, een vlindersoort. Vroeger werd zijn pluis gebruikt als vulling voor kussens.

Common cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium) is a plant from the sedge family (Cyperaceae), thus even though it looks like a form of grass technically it is not. It grows in acidic wetlands and peat bogs all over northern parts of Europe, Asia and North America. The flowering stem is 20-70 cm tall, and has three to five cotton-like inflorescenses hanging from the top. It is also sometimes referred to as multi-headed bog cotton.
The presence of cottongrass is a useful indicator to hikers of potentially dangerous deep peat bogs to be avoided
