Selaginella siamensis

Selaginella siamensis

Selaginella siamensis is a rare and beautifully textured spikemoss native to Southeast Asia. Its delicate, branching fronds form a dense mat of lush green foliage, often highlighted with subtle blue or bronze tones depending on light and humidity. This fine, lace-like growth makes it a striking choice for terrariums, where it adds both depth and softness to a planting.

As with most Selaginella, this species thrives in consistently warm, humid environments and is especially well-suited for terrarium or vivarium culture. It prefers low to medium indirect light, evenly moist soil, and stable conditions without prolonged drying. Over time, it will spread gradually, forming a natural groundcover that enhances the tropical feel of an enclosure.

Because Selaginella siamensis is rarely available in cultivation, it is highly sought after by collectors. With the right care, it offers a unique and elegant way to introduce both texture and rarity into any terrarium collection.
