A small creeping plant that can reach up to 30cm in height. Sometimes known as Christmas fern (although it is not a fern), selaginella prefers good indirect light and high ambient humidity. A close relative of ferns, they have a similar method of propagation. They do not produce flowers, but rather spores. The 'Green' variety has leaves with a gradient of green. While the 'Frosty' variety has leaves with almost white edges.
