Selaginella sp. South Sumatra
Selaginella sp. South Sumatra is an extraordinary and rarely available species of spikemoss, collected from the lush rainforests of Sumatra. Its foliage displays a delicate, fern-like texture with intricate, lacey fronds that shimmer in shades of deep green, often accented by subtle bronze or bluish highlights depending on the light and humidity. This striking appearance makes it a truly captivating choice for terrariums and plant displays.
As with most Selaginella, this species thrives in consistently warm, humid environments, making it an ideal candidate for terrarium culture. It prefers low to medium indirect light, evenly moist soil, and stable conditions without extended drying periods. Its slow, creeping growth habit allows it to fill in space over time, creating a lush, tropical carpet effect.
Due to its limited availability in cultivation, Selaginella sp. South Sumatra is considered highly rare and sought after by collectors. With the right care, it rewards growers with a uniquely textured, verdant display that few other plants can match.
