- Selaginella martensii Jori commonly known as Spike Moss, Martens' Clubmoss and Rose of Jericho is an unusual and rare real evergreen Indoor. With its attractive bright green ferny, mossy appearance, it is a real conversation starter and a must have addition to any house plant enthusiast’s collection.
- This houseplant native to Mexico and Central America is not a true moss but rather a type of lycophyte, which are the oldest living vascular plants dating back to 410 million years ago. With its clumping growing habit, it can reach a height of up to 30cm, depending on its growing conditions. NOTE: the decorative pot is not included, it will arrive in a 9cm pot, plastic growing pot.
Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
