Selaginella uncinata
Peacock Spikemoss
Iridescent blue-green texture for humid, low-light corners.
Not a true moss, but it behaves like one in terrariums: low, textured, and happiest when humidity stays high.
Why it works
Colour and texture without height — perfect for mid-ground interest in sealed cases.
Watering notes
Keep evenly moist. Colour fades if humidity drops for long stretches.
Care tips
- Plant in pockets of richer mix.
- Avoid placing under strong grow lights.
- Combine with true moss for depth.
Common problems
- Browning tips in dry air.
- Mushy stems if substrate is anaerobic.
- Colour loss in bright light.
