Complete Care Guide for Fern Glowstar (Selaginella kraussiana ‘Aurea’)

Fern Glowstar, scientifically known as Selaginella kraussiana ‘Aurea,’ is a charming and unique plant appreciated for its feathery, golden-green foliage. To ensure the health and vibrancy of your Fern Glowstar, follow this comprehensive care guide:

Light:

• Indirect Light: Fern Glowstar thrives in bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, especially during the intense midday hours. A spot with filtered sunlight is ideal.

Soil:

• Well-Draining Soil: Plant the Fern Glowstar in well-draining soil. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and potting soil is suitable. Ensure the soil stays consistently moist but not waterlogged.

Watering:

• Consistent Moisture: Keep the soil consistently moist. Water when the top inch of the soil feels slightly dry. Maintain a humid environment by misting the plant regularly.

Humidity:

• High Humidity: Fern Glowstar thrives in high humidity. Increase humidity levels by misting the plant, placing a tray of water nearby, or using a humidifier, especially in drier indoor environments.

Temperature:

• Moderate Temperatures: Keep the environment between 60°F to 75°F (15°C to 24°C). Protect the plant from drafts and temperature extremes.

Fertilizing:

• Regular Feeding: Feed the Fern Glowstar with a balanced, liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce or withhold fertilizer in fall and winter.

Pruning:

• Trimming for Shape: Trim the plant to maintain its desired shape. Pinch back the tips to encourage bushier growth. Remove any yellow or dead foliage using clean scissors or pruning shears.

Mulching:

• Organic Mulch: Apply a thin layer of organic mulch, such as shredded bark or coconut coir, around the base of the plant to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Potting:

• Well-Draining Containers: If growing Fern Glowstar in containers, use pots with drainage holes and a well-draining potting mix. Repot when necessary to refresh the soil and provide room for growth.

Pest Control:

• Watch for Spider Mites: Keep an eye out for spider mites, especially in dry conditions. Increase humidity to deter mites, and treat infestations with insecticidal soap if necessary.

Winter Care:

• Protect from Cold Drafts: While Fern Glowstar is relatively hardy, protect it from cold drafts and extreme temperature drops. Reduce watering slightly during the dormant winter period.

Propagation:

• Division: Propagate Fern Glowstar through division. Divide the plant during the growing season, ensuring each division has both roots and foliage.

Caution:

• Non-Toxic: Fern Glowstar is considered non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe choice for households with pets and children.
