Plant Care & Growing Tips

Caring for your club moss live plant is a rewarding experience, as these ancient beauties are quite resilient when their basic needs are met. They thrive in conditions that mimic their natural forest floor habitat. The most crucial aspect of selaginella plant care is consistent moisture. These plants love humidity and moist soil, so never allow the potting mix to dry out completely. Watering should be frequent, ensuring the soil remains evenly damp but not waterlogged. Using distilled or rainwater can prevent mineral buildup in the soil.

For sunlight exposure, the club moss live plant prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can scorch their delicate foliage, leading to browning and stress. An east-facing window or a spot several feet away from a south or west-facing window is ideal. High humidity is also essential for these plants to flourish. If not grown in a terrarium, consider placing a humidifier nearby or misting the plants regularly, especially in dry indoor environments. The optimal temperature range for club moss is between 65-75°F (18-24°C). They are not tolerant of cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C), making them strictly an indoor plant in most climates.

The ideal soil for terrarium plants like club moss should be well-draining yet moisture-retentive. A mix formulated for ferns or tropical plants, often containing peat moss, perlite, and a good quality potting mix, works well. Fertilization is generally light; a diluted liquid fertilizer applied once every 2-4 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer) is sufficient. Reduce or cease fertilization during fall and winter. Keep an eye out for common pests like spider mites if humidity levels are too low. Maintaining proper moisture and humidity is the best defense against such issues for your club moss live plant.
