Selaginella (Spikemosses)

Selaginella plants, also called Spikemosses, give you fine-textured foliage and steady, compact growth. You get a fresh green look that suits terrariums, shelves, and shaded corners. Place your Selaginella in bright, indirect light. Keep the soil evenly moist. Do not let it dry out. Mist the plant a few times a week. Good humidity keeps the foliage firm. Trim any uneven tips to maintain a tidy shape.

You can place Spikemosses outside in the UK during warm summer months. Choose deep or light shade. The dense foliage offers cover for tiny insects. These insects help support local birds. Bring the plant back inside when nights fall near 10°C.

Selaginella suits you if you want low, neat growth with simple care. You get a steady colour and a soft texture that fits quiet indoor spaces.
