Selaginella Heterostemon

Selaginella heterostemon is a rare spikemoss that adds a soft, lush, ground-cover look to any terrarium, paludarium, or humid display. Selaginella is an ancient group of plants that is not a true moss or a fern, and most species grow in warm, humid, shaded forests. Collectors love Selaginella heterostemon for its delicate, feathery foliage, which fills space gently and makes a natural green carpet. If you want a refined plant for a humid setup, this is a great choice for beginners and collectors alike.

Selaginella Heterostemon Care Guide

Selaginella heterostemon is easy to enjoy when you follow a few basics:

• Light: Provide low to medium indirect light. Avoid direct sun, which can scorch the delicate foliage.
• Water: Keep the mix evenly moist at all times. Spikemosses dislike drying out, but the roots should not sit in stagnant water.
• Soil: Use a loose, airy mix such as cocopeat, fine bark, perlite, and sphagnum moss.
• Humidity and temperature: Prefers high humidity and mild to warm temperatures of about 18–28°C (64–82°F). A closed or semi-closed terrarium works very well.
• Fertilizer: Feed very lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer at quarter strength once a month during active growth.
