Our best selection of this highly variable species. This Type collected in South-Western Thailand and probably the most colorful selaginella when compared with other iridescent blue species. As see in the pictures, leaves are in heavy electric blue color when young, highlighted by bright yellow veining. Leaf shape is also in pretty butterfly shape.
This species produce large underground rhizomes, raising new plants somewhere on the spreading path. Always stays under 4” tall when grown under well enough light.
Although restricted to karst limestone, in cultivation it seems to do well even in neutral pH media. Require moist, but not soggy, better allow it getting fairly dry between watering. It is also a seasonal plant rests (leafless) from late January to early May. Best to let the pot dry out before keeping in a sealed container, or collect the rhizomes and place in a zip-locked bag with additioanl vermiculite. Start the new growing season when see new growth emerge from the rhizomes.
Offered are mature plants, established in 3" pot
