Description
Common Name: Club Moss, Spike Moss
Selaginellas are a genus of primitive plants with visual characteristics of a mix between a fern and a moss. These ancient spikemosses have an attractive blue sheen on the surface of the leaves when the light hits it just right. Spikemosses make a great addition to your emersed setups with a fair amount of humidity, as they are commonly found under the canopy of rainforests. These plants can grow up to 2 feet tall but can be kept at virtually any size when maintained properly.
Notes:
This is not an aquarium plant. Submerging it completely will result in the death of this plant.
Selaginella Willdenowii works well in terrarium-like setups and should be partially shaded with good humidity.
Remove the cotton surrounding the roots and plant into quality soil. For instructions on how to properly prep aquarium plants, click here.
Yellowing of leaves indicates overwatering.
Please research appropriately to ensure your plant thrives.
