Selaginella kraussiana 'Aurea,' commonly known as Gold Club Moss or Golden Clubmoss, is a bright and unique ground cover plant. Its fern-like, chartreuse foliage forms a dense, mossy carpet, making it ideal for terrariums, shaded containers, or humid indoor settings. Native to Africa, this delicate yet hardy plant grows in consistently moist, well-draining soil and high humidity. With its fast growth and spreading habit, it adds texture and a splash of color to any low-light space. Its ability to root from stems makes it a flexible and easy-to-propagate plant.

Best Locations For Growing Gold Club Moss

Gold Club Moss is perfect for terrariums, shady corners, bathrooms, or any indoor spot with high humidity. Outdoors, it grows in shaded rock or woodland gardens and can tolerate light foot traffic. Its shallow roots make it ideal for shallow containers or hanging baskets. This plant is non-toxic to pets and children.

Gold Club Moss Sunlight Requirements

Gold Club Moss prefers partial shade to deep shade. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the foliage. Indoors, place it in low to medium indirect light. A north-facing window or a shaded spot with indirect light is ideal for maintaining its bright foliage.

Gold Club Moss Care

This plant requires a consistently moist environment and high humidity to grow. Use a light, well-draining soil mix, such as one with added organic matter. Repot every couple of years or when it outgrows its container, ensuring good drainage.

Watering Gold Club Moss

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy. Water thoroughly when the surface starts to dry, allowing excess water to drain. Avoid letting the soil completely dry out, as this can damage the plant. High humidity levels (50% or above) are essential to prevent browning.

Feeding Gold Club Moss

Feed sparingly during the growing season with a diluted liquid fertilizer. Over-fertilizing can harm the plant. Fertilize every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer, but avoid feeding in winter when growth slows.
