Selaginella martensii is a tropical plant with very fine, dense foliage, prized for its mossy appearance and bright green color. It quickly forms a compact, cascading cushion, ideal for terrariums, paludariums, humid tropical arrangements, or bright indoor cultivation without direct sunlight.
This selaginella thrives in high humidity, with a consistently moist substrate and mild temperatures year-round. Its deeply cut foliage provides a lush, natural appearance reminiscent of miniature ferns.
Unlike Selaginella 'Jori' , the classic Selaginella martensii has greener, more natural-looking foliage and is generally a little less compact. 'Jori' is primarily prized for its bright, golden-yellow to light green new growth and its more decorative, contrasting appearance. The classic martensii, on the other hand, maintains a more understated look, ideal for natural terrariums.
