What is Selaginella? (Describe the characteristics of Selaginella)
Selaginella is not a cypress, and its maximum height is about 20cm. The size of Selaginella depends on its age. The longer it is, the longer it will be, and the maximum will not exceed 20cm. Selaginella is distributed in the north and south of China. Selaginella is a small ornamental plant, which is very popular in China market in recent years.
In our local flower market, every Saturday and Sunday, some old people take Selaginella to the market to sell. These Selaginella are all dug up by themselves from the local mountains. The price of a tree is more than ten yuan, and many people buy it. Because Selaginella is not very big, it can be planted in small pottery pots and placed in living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms and balconies, and it is not difficult to maintain it.
Selaginella can be cultivated with tap water or purified water, but the growth rate will be slightly slower. Selaginella is also called "nine dead resurrection grass" in our local area, which means Selaginella is almost difficult to raise. Selaginella in the wild grows mostly in the shady side of mountains or near streams. Selaginella has higher requirements on the environment and likes high temperature and humidity.
Spring and summer are the growing periods of Selaginella. In autumn and winter, when the rainfall decreases and Selaginella can't absorb water, it will naturally roll together, and all the leaves will naturally wrap inward and look like a ball egg. In autumn and winter, its leaves will turn from green to yellow, just like the color of hay.
Selaginella Selaginella cultivated indoors has almost no yellow leaves. As long as you often water it and keep the soil moist, as long as the roots of Selaginella can absorb water, its leaves will not turn yellow. With proper maintenance, Selaginella can also be trimmed into bonsai and placed in the living room or bedroom. The advantage of cultivating Selaginella is that it doesn't take too much time to manage, and it can still be kept green in the corner for a long time.
I like growing flowers, but I can't grow them well. If this is the case with you, you can consider buying a Selaginella, whether it is hydroponics or soil culture. Either way, you can buy a beautiful water cup directly, put Selaginella in the water cup, fill it with water, and put it in the bathroom and balcony as a hydroponic plant for maintenance. As long as there is water in the glass, its leaves can remain green all the time.
Small green plants actually have certain protection value, but many people don't know it. Most people who like to grow flowers only know ordinary flowering plants, and few people know this small foliage plant.
