Light:
• Bright, indirect light is ideal for Selaginella moss. It can tolerate low light, but it prefers brighter conditions to thrive.
• Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the delicate leaves.
Watering:
• Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Water the plant when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch.
• Selaginella is sensitive to drought; if allowed to dry out completely, it can quickly die back.
Soil:
• Use a light, well-draining potting mix that retains moisture. A mix designed for ferns or a combination of peat moss and perlite works well.
• Good drainage is important to prevent root rot.
Temperature:
• Selaginella moss thrives in temperatures between 60-75°F
• Protect it from extreme temperature fluctuations and cold drafts.
Humidity:
• This plant loves high humidity. Ideally, humidity levels should be between 50% and 70%.
• To increase humidity, consider misting the leaves regularly, placing the plant on a pebble tray filled with water, or using a humidifier.
Fertilizing:
• Fertilize sparingly, if at all. If you choose to fertilize, use a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer).
• Avoid fertilizing in the fall and winter when growth slows.
Pruning and Maintenance:
• Trim back any dead or brown foliage to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.
• Selaginella can spread over time, so you may need to control its growth if it gets too large.
Repotting:
• Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use fresh, moist potting mix when repotting.
• The best time to repot is in the spring when the plant is actively growing.
Propagation:
• Selaginella can be propagated by division or by taking cuttings. When dividing, ensure each section has roots and some foliage.
• You can also propagate using spores, but this method requires more specialized care and conditions.
Pests:
• Selaginella is generally resistant to pests, but keep an eye out for mealybugs or fungus gnats. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
• Good air circulation can help prevent pest issues.
Toxicity:
• Selaginella is generally considered non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with animals or children.
