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 conditions18–28°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.
