About this plant

Selaginella erythropus

Finely branching foliage offers a soft contrast to clear bromeliad rosettes. Selaginella is a lycophyte, rather than a true moss.

More about plant care

Small shoots can disappear behind larger plants. Provide light without placing them directly beneath the strongest lamp. Check the foliage regularly: dry tips are a reason to review moisture, lighting and airflow rather than simply adding more water.

This guidance covers the plant group. The specific cultivar, plant size and conditions in your terrarium may require adjustments.
