How should I care for my Selaginella Apoda to ensure it thrives?: This plant flourishes in high humidity and low to medium light conditions.

Is the Selaginella Apoda suitable for beginners?: Yes, it’s an excellent choice for beginners due to its adaptability and low light requirements. Its resilience and the ability to withstand occasional dryness make it forgiving for new plant owners learning to balance watering routines.
Can I keep this plant if I have pets?: Yes, the Selaginella Apoda is pet-friendly, making it a safe addition to households with animals. Always ensure it’s placed where it won’t be easily knocked over by curious pets.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium Light)

The Selaginella Apoda thrives in medium light conditions. It’s perfect for spots that receive filtered light throughout the day, such as near a north-facing window or a few feet away from a south-facing window.

? Water

??▫️ (Medium)

This charming plant likes to be kept moist but not soggy. Water it when the top inch of soil feels slightly dry to the touch. Be sure to reduce watering in the cooler months to prevent overwatering.

?️ Temperature

?️?️▫️ (Average)

Selaginella Apoda enjoys average room temperatures ranging from 18°C to 24°C. It can tolerate a bit cooler or warmer, but sudden temperature changes should be avoided.

? Humidity

??? (High)

This plant loves humidity! Ideal for kitchens or bathrooms where the air is naturally more humid. If your home is dry, consider using a humidity tray or a small humidifier to keep it happy.

? Repotting

Selaginella Apoda generally prefers to be a bit root-bound, so repotting isn’t frequently necessary. When you do repot, choose a container only slightly larger than the current one and use a well-draining potting mix suitable for moisture-loving plants.

? Pet Friendliness

Great news for pet owners! The Selaginella Apoda is pet-friendly, so you can place it anywhere in your home without worrying about the safety of your furry friends.

? Recommended Locations at Home

This plant is a fantastic addition to any room with filtered light. Its lush texture makes it a natural fit for bathrooms, kitchens, or living rooms. It also works beautifully in terrariums or as part of a fairy garden setup.

✨ Other Plant Features

Beyond its beauty, the Selaginella Apoda is known for its adaptability and terrarium-friendly nature, making it a perfect choice for both beginners and seasoned plant lovers looking to create a mini indoor oasis.

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.

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.

I really enjoyed the workshop which was absolutely perfect – I learned so much and the information given was spot on step by step. I know that I will be visiting the shop often given my already love of plants – particularly house plants and of course to say hello ‍♂️ and see Noel and Angus – they are lovely and an asset to your business. Thank you all so much.
