Terrestrial, creeping plant suitable for terrariums, paludariums, and high-humidity indoor displays. Delivered as small stems only (not a pot or established clump).

Selaginella uncinata is a compact (also known as Iridescent Selaginella), low-growing spikemoss valued for its fine texture and subtle blue-green iridescence under shaded, humid conditions. It forms a tight, spreading mat, making it an excellent ground cover or foreground accent in tropical terrarium setups.

Important distinction: This plant is sometimes sold under the name Peacock Moss or Blue Spikemoss, the true Peacock Moss is Selaginella willdenowii. Compared to S. willdenowii, S. uncinata has:

• Smaller, finer foliage
  
• A more compact, creeping growth habit
  
• A subtler blue sheen that is highly condition-dependent

Both species are offered separately, as they differ in appearance and growth behavior.

On arrival, foliage may appear more green or olive-toned and will gradually develop coloration as the plant acclimates to stable humidity and light.

Details:

• Sold as 2-3 stems (not a pot or bunch)
  
• Low, creeping, spreading growth habit
  
• Fine blue-green foliage with iridescent sheen
  
• Color intensity depends on humidity and shade
  
• Ideal for terrariums, vivariums, and paludariums

Care Tips:

Prefers shaded to semi-shaded environments with consistently high humidity and evenly moist substrate. Avoid drying out or direct, intense lighting, which can reduce coloration. Best suited for enclosed or humidity-stable setups.

Note: Color, leaf size, and sheen vary with conditions. Appearance improves after acclimation and is never identical to Selaginella willdenowii.
