Selaginella martensii 'Compact Form' – Frosty Spikemoss

Selaginella martensii Spring (Selaginellaceae), known as Martens's spikemoss, is a lycophyte from the humid forests of Mexico and Central America. This compact form grows into a dense, rounded mound of bright lime-green, fern-like fronds, staying low and tidy rather than sprawling. It makes a lush focal clump or filler for closed terrariums, vivariums and paludariums.

You will receive one healthy, established plant in its nursery pot, as pictured. Keep the substrate evenly moist and never let it dry out; it thrives in the stable, high humidity of a closed terrarium.
