Here’s a complete care guide for Selaginella ‘Pearl’ 🌿:
🌤️ Light
-
Prefers bright, indirect light or partial to full shade.
-
Avoid direct sunlight — it can burn or dry out the fine leaves.
-
Can tolerate low light, but growth may slow.
💡 Ideal near north or east-facing windows, or under LED grow lights.
🌡️ Temperature
-
Thrives in cool to warm tropical conditions — 18–28°C.
-
Keep away from cold drafts, heaters, or air conditioners.
-
Avoid temperatures below 15°C, as cold stress can cause leaf drop.
🌡️ Stable warmth and moisture keep foliage lush and soft.
💧 Watering
-
Requires consistently moist soil — never allow it to dry completely.
-
Water when the top layer of soil feels just barely dry.
-
Use filtered or rainwater if possible, as this plant is sensitive to hard water.
-
Ensure good drainage; roots can rot in stagnant water.
🚫 Drying out even once can cause severe leaf wilt.
💨 Humidity
-
Loves very high humidity (75–90%).
-
Ideal for terrariums, glass cabinets, or pebble trays.
-
Mist regularly if kept in open air.
🌫️ Low humidity causes crisp, brown leaf tips.
🌱 Soil
-
Needs a moisture-retentive, well-aerated mix.
Recommended mix:-
50% peat moss or coco peat
-
30% perlite or vermiculite
-
20% leaf mold or compost
-
💧 Soil should stay lightly damp — never soggy, never dry.
🍽️ Fertilizer
-
Feed lightly every 6–8 weeks during the growing season (spring–autumn).
-
Use a diluted (¼–½ strength) balanced liquid fertilizer (10:10:10).
-
Avoid heavy feeding — Selaginella roots are delicate.
🌿 Too much fertilizer can cause leaf burn or yellowing.
🪴 Repotting
-
Repot every 1–2 years or when it fills the container.
-
Use a shallow pot with good drainage.
-
Refresh the substrate each time to maintain moisture balance.
🌸 Propagation
-
Easily propagated by division or stem cuttings:
-
Gently separate a small clump with roots.
-
Plant in moist substrate under high humidity and filtered light.
-
Keep covered (like a mini greenhouse) until established.
-
