Selaginella Planna Pot

The Selaginella Planna Pot is an epiphytic aquatic plant that can be attached to driftwood or rocks.

Key Features

• Epiphytic plant — attach to hardscape rather than planting in substrate
• Low to moderate light requirements
• Provides natural cover and grazing surfaces for fish and shrimp

Attaching Selaginella Planna in an Epiphyte Layout

The Selaginella Planna Pot is sold for hardscape work, fixed to driftwood or rock rather than buried in substrate. We position it honestly as a spikemoss best suited to the emersed and splash zones of a paludarium or riparium, where its flat, spreading fronds can creep over wood with roots staying damp and foliage in humid air. It is not a long-term submerged plant, so keep it at or above the waterline.

Tie or glue the base to your hardscape and let it establish before expecting spread. Our humidity helps it cling and green up, but it still wants gentle airflow to prevent rot in stagnant corners. Once attached it forms a natural, mossy texture that softens hard edges and gives shrimp and small fish grazing surfaces at the water margin.
