Selaginella apoda

No Longer in collection


Very small prostrate species. It's just hanging on outside but seems to be hardy here.
Selaginella bigelovii

No Longer in collection


This is one of the Selaginellas that love free draining soil. Not for the terrarium but for rock garden containers. Rooted cuttings
Selaginella doederleinii

I got this from Jeff Benca from the University of Washington Greenhouse. Here's what he has to say about it
This species is found in China, Malaysia, Borneo, and likely in many other countries of SE Asia. It has the largest microphylls of any species I've worked with, so it almost looks a strange-bit like a forking fern (Gleicheniaceae) meets a marine alga.,
Selaginella erythropus

A great Selaginella and very unusual. Dark green fronds with red underneaths.
Selaginella involvens

This is a beautiful species with nice red hues to the fronds. I bought this from Charles Alford as S caulescens and it has been easy.
Selaginella kraussiana aurea

Small creeping habit. Lighter green than normal form.
Selaginella kraussiana 'Brownii'

This is very different from the normal green form of kraussiana. It forms a low may of whorls. Very small fronds.
Selaginella martensii albomarginata

A large Selaginella that forms a plant of about 6-12 inches. It grows best in low light and needs plenty of water and humidity.
Selaginella martensii 'Frosty'

I'm not positive about this name since it came to me with no name at all. It's a robust growing plant that seems to form a dense mat. It roots easily and looks great.
Selaginella moellendorffii

This is a very pretty Selaginella. It form plantlets at the tips of the fronds so it spreads quickly.
Selaginella mollis

I think I got this from Rare Flora but I'm not sure. It's a nice easy to grow plant.
Selaginella oaxacana

I got this from Jeff Benca from the University of Washington Greenhouse. it has large microphylls.
Selaginella oregana

An epiphytic Selaginella. Very nice look. Does not like intense light. Loves high humidity.
Selaginella pallascens

A small Selaginella with a rosette forming growth habit. Also known as emmeliana.
Selaginella peruviana

A xeric Selaginella that is native to Texas. Needs free draining soil.
Selaginella plana

This is a rambling selaginella with an upright growth habit. A large Terrarium would be needed for the species. Slightly reddish rhizomes similar to Sellaginella umbrosa. 2 inch pot
Selaginella serpens

A small low growing species which changes color in the evening.
Selaginella species 'Lita'

Very small prostrate species. I believe this could be S douglassii or S diffusa. I almost lost it so once I get enough I will attempt to get a positive id. In the picture the Selaginella is seen growing behind the Begonia.
Selaginella stauntoniana

Very pretty upright species which is hardy in my Zone 7 garden.
Selaginella umbrosa

This is a very nice Selaginella from Belize. It has fronds that are lighter green to yellowish on the margins. It also has nice red stems. Spreads quickly and is a great subject for the Terrarium or Vivarium. Rhizome cutting.
Selaginella uncinata

This is commonly called rainbow moss. It developes great color in strong light. Does very well planted in long fiber sphagnum.
Selaginella vogelii

New species for me. I've never had it. I purchased this plant from Kartuz Greenhouse.
Selaginella wallacei

A xeric Selaginella that is native to the northwest. Needs free draining soil.
Selaginella willdenovii

A very large growing species that likes to climb. This is often confused with Selaginalla uncinata because of the common name Peacock Fern. They are nothing alike. S uncinata is a small species which remains prostrate for the most part.
