Selaginella tamariscina

Selaginella tamariscina is a fascinating and rarely offered spikemoss with a unique, shrubby growth habit that sets it apart from most other species in the genus. Instead of spreading as a low mat, it forms upright, compact clusters of fronds that resemble miniature conifers or cypress trees, giving it a striking architectural appearance. This unusual growth form makes it highly desirable for terrarium enthusiasts and plant collectors alike.

Native to parts of East Asia, Selaginella tamariscina thrives in consistently warm, humid conditions with moderate to low indirect light. It prefers evenly moist soil that is well-draining, and like other Selaginella, it does not tolerate extended dry periods. Its slow but steady growth makes it ideal for terrariums, vivariums, or display cases where its distinctive form can be appreciated up close.

Because of its rarity in cultivation and its distinctive look, Selaginella tamariscina is highly sought after by collectors. With the right care, it offers a long-lasting, sculptural accent plant that adds depth, texture, and a truly one-of-a-kind aesthetic to any terrarium setup.
