Product name: Selaginella Apoda (P10.5c)
Selaginella Apoda, commonly known as the "Meadow Spikemoss" or "Spike Moss," is a species of fern ally belonging to the Selaginellaceae family. It is not a true moss but rather a primitive plant that resembles ferns and is often grouped with lycophytes. Meadow Spikemoss can be found in moist, shaded areas, such as meadows, forests, and along stream banks.
Selaginella Apoda is a small, creeping plant with delicate and branching stems that resemble fern fronds. The stems are green and have a feather-like appearance due to the small, overlapping leaves along their length. Selaginella Apoda plays a role in its natural habitat by contributing to biodiversity and serving as a habitat for small organisms like insects and other invertebrates.
Like other fern allies, Selaginella Apoda reproduces through spores rather than seeds. Spores are produced in structures called sporangia, which are typically found on the tips of the stems.
As Selaginella apoda thrives in environments with consistent moisture levels, it prefers humid and shaded areas where the soil is damp but well-draining. Some enthusiasts grow Selaginella apoda as an ornamental plant in terrariums or as a houseplant in controlled indoor environments.
