Feature
Selaginella kraussiana, commonly called Green Club Moss or Krauss's Spikemoss, is a low-growing, mat-forming plant prized for its delicate, fern-like foliage. Native to Africa, this plant creates a lush carpet of greenery, making it a perfect choice for shady garden areas, terrariums, or indoor containers. Its ability to tolerate high humidity and its rapid growth make it a versatile option for enhancing the texture and vibrancy of your space. Ideal as a companion for ferns or other shade-loving plants, it thrives with minimal care, provided its moisture and humidity needs are met.
Best Locations For Growing Green Club Moss
This plant flourishes in terrariums, dish gardens, or shaded corners of patios and interiors. Its compact size and moisture-loving nature make it ideal for bathrooms or enclosed spaces like cloches or glass cabinets. Due to its low-light tolerance, it works well in areas with minimal natural sunlight.
Green Club Moss Sunlight Requirements
Selaginella kraussiana prefers low to medium indirect light, mimicking the shady forest floors of its native habitat. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate foliage. Ideal locations include spots near north or east-facing windows or under artificial grow lights.
Green Club Moss Care
Green Club Moss thrives with consistent moisture and high humidity. Its shallow root system makes it suitable for shallow pots or terrariums.
Watering Green Club Moss
Keep the soil evenly moist, ensuring it never dries out completely. Water with room-temperature water, as cold water can shock the plant. Avoid overwatering by ensuring proper drainage, as soggy soil can lead to root rot.
Feeding Green Club Moss
Fertilize lightly twice during the growing season (spring and summer) using a balanced liquid fertilizer. Excess fertilizer can harm the plant, so apply sparingly.
With its dense, feathery foliage and easy-care requirements, Selaginella kraussiana adds a touch of lush greenery to any shaded or humid environment. Whether as ground cover or a terrarium centerpiece, this versatile plant brings natural elegance and charm.
