Selaginella Uncinata - Electric Blue Fern

Not actually a fern, it is a spikemoss, but the name has stuck for good reason. The fronds carry a blue green iridescence that shifts depending on how the light hits them, which is unusual enough that it tends to be the first thing people notice in a build. It creeps low across the substrate and spreads sideways, so it fills in as groundcover rather than climbing. Give it low to medium light, because too much will wash out the colour and it is the colour you are buying it for. Keep the substrate damp and the humidity high, and trim it back when it starts running where you do not want it.

One thing worth knowing, this plant establishes very easily in damp shady spots outdoors, so please put your trimmings in the bin rather than the compost or green waste.
