The other rarer 'Peacock Moss'?

18 years ago

Just curiosity, but does anyone know where one could purchase the other, less available 'Peacock Moss' rather than the commonly sold Selaginella uncinata? I will be getting myself S. uncinata ASAP, but would also like the much rarer Selaginella whose species name starts with the letter o. I consider both plants quite spectacular.

The other species starts with a 'w', not an 'o'.

Selaginella willdenowii? I've never seen it for sale. It's an Asian species, like uncinata. If I were to conduct a search for it, I would begin with all the terrarium suppliers, though.

Good Luck!

If you have any luck, please let us know.

I found S. wildenovii at Home Depot and it was offerred as an aquatic plant!!! You may want to check out aquarium plants stores.
The plant I have was in my greenhouse beig totally ignored and really took a nosedive. But I do have a little that I rescued and am nursing it back to a healthy growth.
Whenever it is large enough I will be glad to mail you a small piece in dampened peat moss for you to grow your own plant with.
I have been looking on the net for it and no luck so far.
Definitely post a source if you find one!!
