Three, Temperature
Selaginella tamariscina is suitable for planting in a warm room. The temperature of the growing environment should be controlled at around 20 degrees. In summer, when the temperature is too high, pay attention to spraying water to keep the plant moist. When the temperature in winter is below 0 degrees, pay attention to preventing the cypress from freezing and take good insulation measures, otherwise, Selaginella tamariscina will be frostbitten by low temperatures.
Four, Watering
Selaginella tamariscina has strong drought resistance. However, during the growing period, the plant needs to absorb a large amount of nutrients and corresponding water to maintain significant growth. The amount of water each time should not be too much, so it needs to be watered in multiple small amounts. Here, it is important to note that this plant prefers a warm and humid environment, so the water used for watering should be warm water around 20 degrees Celsius. Using cold water can cause irreversible damage to the plant.
Five, Fertilizing
This plant does not require a high amount of fertilizer, so no large amounts of concentrated fertilizer need to be applied during the peaceful growth period. During the growing period, it is sufficient to apply 30% concentration of oil sludge fertilizer once every half month.
