Selaginella remotifolia typically has good resistance to disease and is affected by relatively few insect pests. Its care is regarded as difficult because it needs a consistently moist environment and frequent watering. Yet the roots are susceptible to rot if the plant is overwatered or the air circulation is poor. It is best suited to growers with some experience, as most people can keep it alive for a period of time. Still, Selaginella remotifolia may struggle to thrive, and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy as time passes.
How to keep Selaginella Remotifolia.
Light
Selaginella remotifolia hails from habitats such as shadowy forest undergrowth or stony regions, which provide it with natural cover from the sun. It thrives best in complete shade, yet it can withstand partially sunlit conditions.
Temperature
Selaginella remotifolia flourishes in dense forest undergrowth. It has a particular sensitivity to temperature and moisture levels, with extreme heat, arid conditions, and strong sunlight all likely to distress the plant. In the summertime, it needs adequate shade and a highly moist environment. While Selaginella remotifolia doesn't need extraordinary attention during winter, a long-lasting drought in this season can still endanger the plant's survival.
