If you want Selaginella to grow multiple heads, you need a suitable environment and reasonable maintenance. Ensure sufficient light every day, but can only receive scattered light. Too strong light is not conducive to the germination of new shoots. The temperature should also be suitable, keeping it at around 20°C, which will make it easier to give birth to bulls. Don't water too much, just wait until the top soil is dry before watering thoroughly. Adequate fertilizer will also help the growth of bulls, but the concentration should be low, otherwise it will burn the roots.

1. Soft lighting

1. Soft light

Selaginella is suitable for growing in semi-shade, and it is very sensitive to light. If the light is too strong, the plant will be easily sunburned, but if the light is insufficient, it will also stunt its development. It needs to be placed in a place with scattered light, or a shading net can be placed in a sunny place.

2. Suitable temperature

Selaginella prefers a warmer environment, and the temperature should be kept at around 20°C. High temperatures will cause rapid loss of water, causing the leaves to dry and curl into clumps. Low temperatures can easily cause frostbite to plants and may even freeze to death. In winter, the temperature cannot be lower than 0℃, so you can put it indoors to keep warm. If the room temperature is not enough, you can put a plastic bag on the top of the plant.

3. Water appropriately

< p>Selaginella has strong drought resistance. Drying will make its leaves dry and curled, but it can recover as long as it is watered. It is more afraid of waterlogging. If the pot soil is too damp or there is stagnant water, it will hinder the breathing of the roots, and may also breed bacteria and make it sick. Generally, wait until the surface soil is dry before watering. Water thoroughly to keep the pot soil fully moist.

4. Supplementary fertilizer

Selaginella is very tolerant of barrenness, so its fertilizer requirements are not high. But if the nutrients are sufficient, it will be easier for new shoots to sprout and grow into multiple heads. Generally, liquid fertilizer is applied every half month. The fertilizer should be a compound fertilizer with a relatively balanced balance of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. The concentration of fertilizer should be low, otherwise it will burn the roots.
