💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)

🌡️ 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.
