The leaves are elliptical, sometimes with a slightly elongated tip, and reach a length of about 15 to 20 cm and a width of 5 to 6 cm. They are noticeably stiff but not particularly thickened. The upper surface of the leaves is a deep metallic blue and covered with numerous white spots. These white spots are called hydathodes, or water slits, through which the fern can actively excrete water in very high humidity. Unlike the blue iridescence of begonias, which can only be observed in the dark when a flashlight or strobe light shines on the leaves from a specific angle, the blue color of \u003cem\u003e*M. siamense*\u003c\/em\u003e is always visible. Even wetting the leaves with water does not make the color disappear; on the contrary, it tends to intensify it. The nanostructures responsible for the coloration are different from those found in begonias.

They are noticeably thickened and stiff, almost succulent, with a sunken midrib. The upper surface of the leaves is a deep metallic blue.

From the main stems, downward-pointing, colorless, and leafless shoots called rhizophores grow at regular intervals, often at the branching points. Roots form at their ends, anchoring the plant in the soil. Thinner stems branch out from the thick main stem into up to three progressively smaller substems, on which the tiny leaves, only about 2 to 4 mm in size, are attached. These are arranged very regularly, giving the plant its fern-like appearance. The most striking feature of this plant, however, is its strong blue iridescence. As with other metallic-shimmering plants, this likely serves to capture the limited amount of residual light that reaches the ground more efficiently in the shady undergrowth of rainforests. Unlike iridescent begonias, however, the effect here is not produced by iridoplasts, but by thin-film interference.

Its slow growth unfortunately makes propagation to a saleable size very laborious and time-consuming, which is why we can never offer many specimens. However, it is certainly one of the most interesting \u003cem\u003eSelaginella\u003c\/em\u003e for terrariums and very small terrariums, and its unique structure immediately draws attention, despite its tiny size. It exhibits a very slight blue iridescence, which is clearly visible in the macro photos but is not readily apparent to the naked eye. To the naked eye, however, the iridescence gives the plant a beautifully rich green appearance.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWe keep this species, like all our \u003cem\u003eSelaginella\u003c\/em\u003e , in rather low light.
