Selaginella siamensis
$14
Like most Selaginella, this one doesn’t do well when allowed to dry out, so keeping it moist at all times is the best practice to follow. In a live vivarium environment, this quick-growing species readily climbs upward on moist backgrounds & decor items. It thrives in higher humidity (70% R/H) but will tolerate less if it’s misted fairly often. This plant can get a little carried away if left on it’s own in ideal conditions, so expect some pruning from time to time. Depending on your goal, it can be pruned to either a climbing or “bushy” appearance. Keep lighting on the lower-end of things, ensure it stays moist, and this plant will do very well.A collector must have specie! This is probably the most colorful selaginella when compared with other iridescent blue species. It is rather rare, said to be from limestone forest of South-Western Thailand. As see in the pictures, leaves are in heavy electric blue color when young, highlighted by bright yellow veining. Leaf shape is also pretty butterfly shape. Unlike most blue species that are vineing, this one forms large underground rhizomes and produce new plants when found suitable spot.
