Selaginella sp. Ecuador Mini FD
Selaginella sp. Ecuador Mini FD is a truly rare and unusual form of spikemoss collected from the cloud forests of Ecuador. This miniature variety is especially prized for its compact growth habit, forming delicate, moss-like mats of finely textured green foliage. Its small size and intricate detail make it a perfect candidate for terrariums, where it provides a lush, natural carpet effect without overwhelming other plants.
Like most Selaginella, this species thrives in consistently humid and warm conditions. It prefers low to medium indirect light, evenly moist soil, and a stable environment with minimal fluctuations in temperature or humidity. Allowing it to dry out should be avoided, as this can quickly set back growth. In the right setup, it will slowly spread and form a dense groundcover, enhancing the overall texture and depth of a terrarium planting.
Because of its rarity in cultivation and its specialized care needs, Selaginella sp. Ecuador Mini FD is highly sought after by collectors. Its unique miniature growth habit sets it apart from other species, making it an exceptional choice for anyone looking to add a distinctive and uncommon plant to their terrarium collection.
