Salaginella Plana Fern

Description

Here’s a short care guide for Selaginella plana (often called Asian Spikemoss—not a true fern, but fern-like):

🪴 Light

• Prefers bright, indirect light or partial shade.
• No direct sun—leaves scorch easily.

💧 Water

• Needs consistently moist soil.
• Do not let it dry out, even briefly.
• Use distilled or rainwater for best results.

💨 Humidity

• Loves very high humidity (60%+).
• Mist daily or keep in a terrarium.
• Dry air causes browning and crisping.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 65–75°F (18–24°C).
• Avoid cold drafts and sudden temp drops.

🌱 Soil

• Use moisture-retentive, well-draining mix—peat moss + perlite works well.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• Feed monthly during spring/summer with diluted liquid fertilizer.
• None in fall/winter.
