Selaginella kraussiana

African Club Moss is more closely related to ferns than moss, but its fresh green, feathery foliage adds wonderful contrasting color and texture to indoor planters. This variety has whitish tips, earning another name of Frosty fern. Place it at the edge of a pot or hanging basket and allow it to trail over the sides. Its airy foliage stays low and fills in nicely, given adequate water and light, making it a perfect candidate for terrariums. Unlike many tropical houseplants, selaginella needs consistent water, and should be watered thoroughly when the surface soil is dry. It can be grown outdoors in the shade during the summer, but may perform best if grown indoors year-round.
