What is Club moss?

Club moss (also known as Selaginella or Mat spike moss) is a bush native to Africa and the Azores. It is an evergreen plant that will quickly cover the floor of most terrariums with luscious vegetation. Although it is called a moss, Club moss is actually an evergreen perennial that looks more like a typical plant before spreading across the floor of your enclosure.

How do you keep Club moss alive?

Club moss likes a fairly high heat and a good amount of water, as long as there is plenty of drainage to prevent root and leaf rot. It handles extreme cold poorly and will need to be heated during the winter. It shouldn’t require much pruning or upkeep.

What is Club moss good for?

Club moss is mostly used to create a carpet in terrariums, flower pots and rockeries. As it covers most surfaces with fern-like leaves it can create a very natural and sophisticated look that is immediately eye-catching. Club moss will also absorb water, maintaining humidity levels and soothing animals during shedding.
