Water: Interrupted clubmoss thrives in consistently moist soil and requires weekly watering to avoid being waterlogged. This humidity-loving evergreen benefits from regular misting in dry conditions. Adequate water is essential for its year-round foliage and growth, particularly in controlled indoor environments.

Fertilize: For interrupted clubmoss, use a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during spring and summer, bi-monthly in fall, and none in winter to promote growth and resilience. Adjust seasonal fertilization to meet interrupted clubmoss's needs, and ensure careful application to avoid root burn. Wear gloves due to skin irritation risks.

Pruning: Interrupted clubmoss thrives as a resilient ground cover. Prune in early to late spring to encourage growth, avoiding heavy pruning to prevent stunted growth. Light pruning enhances foliage density and appearance. Use clean, sharp tools for precise cuts and to prevent infections.

Propagation: Propagation of interrupted clubmoss through cuttings involves selecting healthy sections and ensuring high humidity for root development. A well-drained, nutrient-rich soil medium is essential, along with careful placement of cuttings. Monitoring for pests and diseases is crucial for successful growth.
