Selaginella Kraussiana Mini Club Moss

Common Name: African Club Moss, Golden Moss

Selaginella Kraussiana is a popular choice that is commonly used in terrarium-like setups and vivariums. Referred to by many names such as African Club Moss, Golden Moss and Spike Moss, this plant provides a quick-growing option to those who want ground coverage. Like other terrarium plants, Selaginella Kraussiana shouldn't be completely submerged but does love staying moist with good levels of humidity. Soil thickness should be a few inches as Club Moss will root fairly deep once it takes off. As long as it is kept out of direct lighting and the previous conditions are provided, it is typically forgiving and easy to care for. Club moss is durable and great for livestock that tends to get rowdy in their enclosures!
