    Selaginella Appreciation

    You're lucky to observe Selaginella in nature, we don't have any in Quebec. I've read/heard S.willdenowii is growing upright and it gets big and bushy. I never had any success growing Selaginella as an house plant, I have to keep them in a vivarium otherwise they dry out.

    Selaginella Appreciation

    I'm a big fan too, they're stunning plants. erythropus and uncinata are by far my favorite but I also have martensii, a specie from peru, plana and 2 kinds of kraussiana (a lime green form and a dark green form)

    can anybody ID this plant?

    If you cut it, put some rooting hormones. It will help the plant to recover. For shaping, I'd use fishing line to bend the plant. Its a slow process I think.

    can anybody ID this plant?

    They are slow-growers, I have mine for almost 5 years and it's about 4-5 inches taller. I would suggest a 6500k bulb, they stimulate grown better than a soft white one (2700k).

    can anybody ID this plant?

    Dracaena sp. possibly marginata, definitely not a terrarium plant IMO unless you have a light bulb and good drainage.

    Caulk alternatives for backdrops

    A tube of GE II is 7$ and you can cover many backgrounds. It's by far the best and most reliable way to have a nice background.

    I want to plant all my cages!

    Usually it's very easy, you need to provide a minimum of light (one 13w 6500k bulb is enough) during 8-10 hours and it grows. Make sure the soil stay moist but not wet and these plants don't like dry air. A too well vented vivarium will make the tip of the plant die.

    I want to plant all my cages!

    I use pothos in my most vertical jars and spiders like it. Provide a minimum of light and don't put too much of it, this vine is very invasive. Otherwise if you're looking for nicer plants and you have species that don't web like Poecilotheria, you can take a look at the Selaginella familly. It...
