Selaginella Willdenowii

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 Willdenowiiworks 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, clickhere.
