Selaginella kraussiana Aurea-Terrarium/Fairy Garden (3 Bulbs for Planting)

Variety: Selaginella kraussiana Aurea is a cultivar of the clubmoss family known for its vibrant golden-green foliage. Its compact size and trailing habit make it perfect for terrariums and miniature gardens.

Quantity: The pack contains 3 bulbs (or plugs) for planting. While it may seem like a small number, Selaginella is a vigorous grower and can quickly fill out the space in your terrarium or fairy garden.

Planting Time: Selaginella can be planted year-round indoors, but spring and summer are ideal for outdoor planting. Ensure the soil or substrate is moist when planting to promote root establishment.

Location: Choose a spot with indirect sunlight or dappled shade for your terrarium or fairy garden. Selaginella prefers high humidity and thrives in environments with consistent moisture levels.

Soil/Substrate: Use a well-draining potting mix or substrate for planting. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand works well for providing good drainage while retaining moisture.

Planting Depth: Plant the bulbs (or plugs) at the same depth they were growing in their nursery container. Gently firm the soil around the roots to ensure good contact.

Watering: Keep the soil or substrate consistently moist, but avoid waterlogging, as excessive moisture can lead to root rot. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch.

Humidity: Maintain high humidity levels around Selaginella by misting the foliage regularly or placing the terrarium/fairy garden in a humid environment.

Maintenance: Trim back any yellowing or dead foliage to maintain the plant's appearance. Fertilize lightly during the growing season with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength.

Propagation: Selaginella can be propagated by division. Simply separate the plant into smaller sections, ensuring each division has roots attached, and replant them in suitable growing conditions.
