Club Moss (Selaginella kraussiana)

Selaginella kraussiana, also known as African clubmoss or Krauss' spikemoss, is a low-growing, evergreen fern native to tropical Africa. It belongs to the Selaginellaceae family and Selaginella genus. This fern is popular for its finely textured, vibrant green leaves and its fast-spreading growth, making it an ideal choice for terrariums and other indoor plantscapes.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It thrives in terrariums with good light, but direct sunlight can burn the leaves.

• Temperature: Thrives in temperatures between 18°C and 24°C (64°F to 75°F).

• Humidity: Requires high humidity (above 70%), making it perfect for terrariums. Misting or placing it in a humidity tray can help maintain moisture levels.

• Watering: Keep the substrate moist but not waterlogged. Ensure proper drainage in your terrarium to avoid excess water.

• Soil: Prefers well-draining, moisture-retentive soil, such as a mix of peat moss and perlite, ideal for terrariums.

• Fertilizing: Apply diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer).
