Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a rooted cutting?
Yes. Every Selaginella is supplied as a healthy rooted cutting, allowing it to establish much faster than an unrooted propagation.
Is this suitable for dart frog vivariums?
Absolutely. Selaginella thrives in the warm, humid conditions found within tropical dart frog, tree frog and gecko vivariums.
How much humidity does it need?
This species performs best at humidity levels between 80% and 100%, with consistently moist substrate and good airflow.
Can it grow on cork bark or backgrounds?
Yes. Once established it will gradually creep over cork bark, wood, rocks and natural backgrounds, creating a beautiful rainforest appearance.
Does it need bright lighting?
No. It prefers low to medium indirect light. Very intense direct lighting may cause the foliage to dry or lose colour.
Will I receive the exact plant shown?
No. The photographs show examples of the plants we grow. As these are living plants, every rooted cutting will vary slightly in size, shape and growth.
