Selaginella stauntoniana generally has good resistance to disease and relatively few insect pests. Its care is considered difficult because it requires a moist environment and frequent watering. However, the roots are prone to rotting if they are overwatered or if the environment is not well ventilated. Selaginella stauntoniana is suitable for people with some growing experience, as most people can keep it alive for a certain amount of time. However, it may have trouble thriving and its leaves can dry out and become less healthy over time.
How to keep Selaginella Stauntoniana.
Light
Selaginella stauntoniana typically comes from areas such as forest understories or rocky regions that provide natural shade. It thrives best in Full Shade sunlight conditions, but it can also withstand Partial Sun.
Temperature

It is extremely responsive to changes in temperature and moisture levels, and conditions such as high heat, arid climates, and strong sunlight can cause discomfort to the plant. During the hotter months, it needs adequate shading and a moisture-rich setting. Typically, Selaginella stauntoniana doesn't need extra attention during the colder months. However, an extended period of winter dryness could still lead to the plant's demise.
