Pet Friendly

How should I care for my Selaginella in a terrarium?: This plant thrives in high humidity and low light conditions. Ensure the terrarium is not placed in direct sunlight and mist the plant regularly to maintain the moisture it loves.
Is the Selaginella suitable for homes with pets?: Yes, the Selaginella is pet-friendly. It poses no harm if your furry friends come into contact with it, making it a great choice for pet owners.
Can this plant handle periods without water?: While the Selaginella prefers consistent moisture, it can tolerate short periods of dryness. However, for optimal growth and health, try to keep its environment consistently humid.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Selaginella Jori Martensii thrives in medium light conditions. It prefers indirect light, making it perfect for spots that receive filtered sunlight. Avoid direct sunlight as it can scorch the delicate leaves.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Keep the soil consistently moist, but not waterlogged. Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. This plant enjoys a good misting, which helps replicate its natural humid environment.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

This plant prefers average room temperatures between 16°C to 24°C. Avoid placing it near draughty windows or heat sources which could cause temperature fluctuations.

💧 Humidity

💧💧💧 (High)

Selaginella loves high humidity, making it a perfect candidate for terrariums. If not in a terrarium, try to maintain high humidity by regular misting or using a humidity tray.

🌱 Repotting

Repotting is rarely needed for this compact plant. Instead, focus on refreshing the top layer of soil annually to provide fresh nutrients. If grown in a terrarium, ensure the substrate is suitable for retaining moisture without becoming soggy.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is pet friendly! No need to worry about your furry friends around the Selaginella Jori Martensii.

🏡 Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal locations include bathrooms with natural light where humidity tends to be higher, or kitchens where steam can benefit the plant. They also look enchanting in living rooms when used in decorative terrariums or as part of a miniature garden display.

🌿 Air Purifying

While not specifically known for air-purifying abilities, like most plants, the Selaginella can contribute to a slight improvement in indoor air quality by increasing humidity and producing oxygen.

✨ Other Plant Features

The Selaginella Jori Martensii, with its lush green texture and compact size, is not only visually appealing but also versatile. It’s perfect for adding a touch of greenery to small spaces and creating a soothing, natural environment.

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.
