According to this revision, the new name for this plant is now \u003cem\u003eChuselaginella alligans\u003c\/em\u003e . We will continue to use the old name for the time being, until the new names are confirmed by other authors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This \u003cem\u003eSelaginella\u003c\/em\u003e originates from the Philippines and Sulawesi. However, we are not entirely certain of its species identification. Our mother plants are not yet large enough to produce strobili (spore-bearing structures) and spores, which would allow for definitive identification \u003cem\u003eof Selaginella\u003c\/em\u003e . We will update this page as soon as we can confidently identify the species!\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eIn appearance, this species resembles \u003cem\u003eSelaginella alligans\u003c\/em\u003e . It is widespread in the Philippines. As young plants, they are rather unremarkable, but once they reach a size of about 30 cm, they exhibit a unique, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.phytoimages.siu.edu\/CUBIC_IMAGES\/phytoimages\/BarcelJF\/2_6_13\/7feb13\/Selaginellaalligans3.jpg\"\u003eclimbing habit\u003c\/a\u003e . The rather thin main stem attaches itself tightly to a substrate (e.g., \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.phytoimages.siu.edu\/CUBIC_IMAGES\/phytoimages\/BarcelJF\/2_6_13\/7feb13\/Selaginellacumingiana1.jpg\"\u003emossy tree trunks\u003c\/a\u003e or damp rocks) with its roots and produces fronds approximately 30 to 50 cm long.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This species grows in very humid cloud forests at altitudes of 500 to 1500 meters and therefore tolerates somewhat cooler temperatures well. In our experience, however, it is also insensitive to temperatures of 30°C or higher. Generally, it grows quite quickly and is very easy to care for in a terrarium.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [\/expand]\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e[\/porto_content_box]\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e You will receive a well-rooted cutting in a 7cm pot.

Even with very good packaging, some pieces will likely break off after shipping. Unfortunately, this cannot be prevented, but it doesn't significantly harm the plant. After an acclimatization period, this species continues to grow quite quickly. \u003cstrong\u003eSuch damage is not grounds for a complaint.\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"Jungle Leaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56319153111417,"sku":"Slg013","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/8389\/6953\/files\/Selaginella-cf.-alligans-02.jpg?v=1764916803","url":"https:\/\/www.jungle-leaves.de\/en\/products\/selaginella-cf-alligans","provider":"Jungle Leaves","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
