As this plant thrives in a warm, humid environment, it makes a perfect candidate for a bottle garden or terrarium. It has tiny leaves that give the plant a textured look, which resembles moss - hence its common name of creeping moss.
This plant is sent out as an unnamed and unlabelled Selaginella, so the plant you receive may be a different variety to the one in the photo.
Please note that the plant comes in a nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

Give Selaginella bright, indirect light and consistently moist compost, as it dislikes both drying out and waterlogging. Keep it in a warm, humid spot such as a closed terrarium or bottle garden, misting lightly if humidity dips.
Use a free-draining but moisture-retentive mix with added moss or fine bark, and trim back any overlong stems to keep it compact. Keep it away from cold draughts, and avoid direct sun, which scorches the delicate foliage.
