Description

The Tropical Red Spike Moss ( Selaginella erythropus ) is a stunning terrarium plant, instantly recognisable for its bright green foliage with vivid red stems and undersides. This contrast gives it a jewel-like appearance, making it a favourite among terrarium builders and plant collectors.

It thrives as a groundcover in bioactive terrariums and vivariums, forming a dense carpet of delicate foliage. Preferring warm, humid environments with low to medium light, this species is ideal for tropical setups where it adds both texture and a splash of colour.

Unlike true mosses, Selaginella is a spikemoss, an ancient group of plants that are hardy yet beautiful. With consistent moisture and humidity, it will spread steadily, creating a lush and vibrant living floor in your enclosure.

A perfect choice for anyone looking to add colour, softness, and natural charm to a terrarium.
