How should I water my Selaginella Kraussiana in a terrarium?: Mist your Selaginella regularly to maintain high humidity, ideally with distilled or rainwater. Avoid overwatering by ensuring the terrarium has adequate drainage and the substrate is just damp, not soggy.
Is the Selaginella Kraussiana suitable for beginners?: Absolutely! This plant is very forgiving and adaptable, making it a great choice for those new to terrariums or houseplants. It thrives in low light and requires minimal care apart from regular misting.
Can I keep the Selaginella Kraussiana with other plants in a terrarium?: Yes, it pairs well with other moisture-loving plants such as ferns and mosses. Ensure all plants in the terrarium have similar light and humidity requirements to ensure they flourish together.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Selaginella Kraussiana thrives in low to medium light conditions. It’s perfect for spaces with indirect sunlight or partial shade, making it an ideal indoor companion. Avoid direct, harsh sunlight as it can damage the delicate leaves.

? Water

??▫️ (Medium)

This moss likes consistent moisture but is forgiving if you occasionally forget to water. Water it when the top layer of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure the container has good drainage to prevent waterlogging.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Selaginella Kraussiana enjoys average room temperatures of 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate a range of temperatures but keep it away from cold draughts and extreme heat sources.

? Humidity

??? (High)

This plant loves humidity! Ideal for terrarium environments where moisture levels are naturally higher. If you’re keeping it in drier areas, consider regular misting or placing it near a humidifier.

? Repotting

Selaginella Kraussiana generally doesn’t need frequent repotting. Use a well-draining soil mix suitable for tropical plants or moss-specific substrates. When repotting, handle gently to avoid damaging the delicate fronds.

? Pet Friendliness

Good news for pet owners! This plant is pet-friendly and poses no harm to cats or dogs, so you can place it within reach of your furry friends without worry.

? Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Selaginella in areas like bathrooms where humidity tends to be higher, or in kitchens where it can enjoy indirect light without the harsh sun. It’s perfect on shelves or in terrariums that simulate its natural, humid habitat.

? Air Purifying

This plant is not specifically known for air-purifying properties, but its lush greenery contributes to a refreshing and vibrant ambiance in your home.

✨ Other Plant Features

Besides its charming appearance, Selaginella Kraussiana is versatile and can adapt to various indoor environments. It’s excellent for creating lush landscapes in terrariums and fairy gardens, bringing a touch of enchantment to your home.

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.

Excellent package and delivery. The moss is ideal for forcing my Christmas bulb gifts and the potted plant is beautiful and a welcome addition to my collection. Will be returning and adding gift cards for Highland moss to my birthday and Christmas lists. An outstanding find and highly recommend.
