Selaginella
Selaginella kraussiana variegatus
"Frosty Fern"
Similar to standard 'kraussiana'
(below) only this fern grows tall as it covers the ground.
It'll climb upward on backgrounds, and even without a background can
slowly grow upward to a maximum height of 10-12". The stems
will root into whatever they touch - so mounting it near a
background is ideal
Selaginella kraussiana
"Spike Moss"
A very nice low
growing trailing plant. Ideal for use in a vivarium as the fern loves the high
(80%+) humidity and temps. kraussiana can turn a beautiful
golden sheen in high light & high humidity conditions which also
gives it's nickname - "golden spike moss". Allow fresh air to enter
the vivarium occasionally to ensure good growth & a healthy plant.
Selaginella erythropus
"Red Club Moss"
A fairly slow growing fern - the tops of each leaf are green and the
bottoms are red. Very well suited to vivarium life with high
humidity requirements. Must be kept moist in partial shade.
Selaginella uncinata
"Peacock Spike Moss"
A low spreading plant - this has a beautiful blue-metallic color sheen to it. Peacock moss thrives on moist soil, partial shade/sun, and humid conditions. The blue sheen grows more apparent in lower light. Keep out of extremely bright light for best results.
