Care Sheet

Light:

  • Prefers indirect sunlight or partial shade. Avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

Water:

  • Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Use distilled or rainwater for best results.

Humidity:

  • Thrives in high humidity (40-60%). Consider misting regularly or placing the pot on a pebble tray filled with water.

Temperature:

  • Ideal temperature range is 65°F to 75°F (18°C to 24°C). Protect from frost and extreme temperature fluctuations.

Soil:

  • Use well-draining potting mix rich in organic matter. A mix of peat, perlite, and vermiculite works well.

Fertilizer:

  • Fertilize lightly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer every 4-6 weeks.

Pruning:

  • Minimal pruning required; remove any brown or damaged leaves to encourage healthy growth.

Propagation:

  • Easily propagated by division or stem cuttings. Ensure cuttings have a few leaves attached.

 

With its captivating golden hue and easy care requirements, Golden Selaginella makes a lovely addition to any plant collection!
