How to keep Selaginella Braunii.
Light
Braun's spikemoss is indigenous to habitats like undergrowth of forests or rocky terrains, where it is exposed to natural shade. It shows a preference for partially sunny locations, but it is capable of adjusting to both completely sunny and altogether shady conditions, highlighting its adaptable and robust characteristics.
Temperature
Braun's spikemoss is a species native to tropical areas that are generally hot and humid. This has allowed it to become well acclimatized to warm temperatures and high levels of humidity. Dramatic changes in temperature may not be favored by this species, hence maintaining constant indoor temperatures is critical. Cold temperatures are typically not compatible with its need for warmth to thrive. When the surrounding temperature falls significantly, the plant might halt its growth, or worse, it may perish.
Fertilizer
Braun's spikemoss necessitates the highest amount of fertilizer during its active growth stage, mainly happening in the spring, summer, and the beginning of fall. It is crucial to fertilize to supply the vital nutrients that might not be present in the soil, fostering the development of robust roots and stems, along with appealing foliage, a distinctive characteristic of this specific plant.
