Description
The Selaginella Kraussiana moss is a charming, low-growing moss that produces a dense mass of tiny scaled foliage. This plant is easy to care for and enjoys humid settings such as a bathroom or kitchen. This plant is ideal for terrariums because it loves humidity. Its primitive fern-like leaves spread via rooting stems. Kraussiana is commonly referred to as club moss because of its unique branching style. This plant is great for carpeting flora in terrain-based enclosures because of its rapid growth outward, easily covering the soil in a relatively short amount of time.
Growth Medium: Soil and Cocopeat mix
Pot Description: Round plastic pot
How to Care for Selaginella Plants
With good light and adequate humidity and Selaginella grow for many years
Light: Bright but indirect sunlight. Direct harsh rays should be avoided as they can dry up the soil. Filtering sunlight through curtains works well. You can rotate the plant, once in a while, to encourage even growth.
Water: Every alternate day. Soil should be moist at all times but not soggy/overwatered.
The leaf turning yellow is a sign of low humidity. To boost humidity, you can either spray/mist or group it with other houseplants as they add moisture to the air as they breathe.
Feed: Liquid fertiliser every two weeks.
You can add a tiny pinch of epsom salt to the water and use it once in six months to make the leaves greener.
