Selaginella uncinata, the peacock spikemoss, is famous for its iridescent blue-green colour, which shimmers in the right light. It forms a low, spreading mat of fine fronds that roots as it creeps, making it a superb groundcover for humid terrariums. It needs constant moisture and high humidity, and its colour is strongest in lower light.
Light
Low to medium indirect light; the blue sheen fades in bright light.
Watering
Never let it dry out; keep the substrate constantly moist.
Humidity
Needs high humidity; best in a closed terrarium.
Planting a Cutting
Lay the cutting flat on moist substrate and pin it down; it roots along the stem.
Trimming
Trim edges to stop it smothering smaller plants.
