Spinulum - PictureThis

Spinulum

Spinulum are club mosses that grow widely throughout temperature areas in the northern hemisphere, and some can also be found within the mountainous, high-altitude climates of the southern hemisphere. They are often recognizable because their major stem region grows parallel with the ground, while the secondary stems stand erect. In nature, some grow side-by-side to one another, but for an unknown reason do not hybridize.

Water: Originating from damp woodlands, spinulum thrives in consistent moisture and stable humidity. It requires weekly watering to maintain its health, especially in drier indoor conditions where soil moisture must be carefully monitored to preserve its lush foliage.

Propagation: Propagation of spinulum occurs through spore sowing and division, requiring consistent moisture, dappled shade, and cool temperatures. Use an organic-rich soil mix and ensure high humidity. For division, separate clumps with roots, plant in moist soil, and keep indirect light until established.
