Selaginella plana

Selaginella plana is a spikemoss native to India, Indochina, and China often called the cypress spikemoss. This one sometimes has white tips. It is an evergreen perennial that only grows about 6 inches off the ground, and then falls downward, forming mats. It has beautiful aerial roots in high humidity environments. This plant enjoys moderate to low light and moderate humidity. Placing this plant on top of moist Sphagnum moss is helpful for rooting it.

All of our cuttings have adventitious, aerial roots. Our rooted specimens will have at least a few active roots and will be established plants. Our plants are grown in high humidity in terrariums and greenhouses, therefore may need acclimation to the average home humidity / environment. Please contact us for acclimation information if you are not planning to use this plant in a terrarium, greenhouse, or humid room.
