Selaginella apoda, also known as Meadow Spikemoss, is a lush, mossy groundcover with delicate, fern-like foliage that brings instant woodland charm indoors. Despite its mossy look, it’s not a true moss but a spikemoss, thriving in consistently damp, humid conditions. Its fresh green mat-like growth makes it a great choice for terrariums, dish gardens, or as a natural carpet in shady outdoor containers.

Plant Care
Light: Prefers low to medium indirect light. Direct sun will scorch its delicate foliage.
Watering: Keep soil evenly moist at all times — this plant doesn’t like to dry out. Best watered with rainwater or filtered water.
Temperature: Ideal in 15–24°C and never below 10°C. Protect from cold drafts.
Potting: Thrives in A Sandy Loam mix when grown in pots, or in terrarium soil blends for closed environments.
Hot tips: Perfect for terrariums due to its love of high humidity. Trim occasionally to encourage a fuller carpet-like effect.
Pet Safe: ✅🐾 Yes — non-toxic and safe for pets.
