Many people think that bonsai plants are difficult to raise, but the maintenance of Selaginella is very simple, and even novices can easily get started. If you are interested in this plant, let's take a look at its conservation methods. Absolutely surprisingly simple.

1, soil selection

Selaginella is very adaptable and can't pick soil. No matter what soil is planted, it can basically live. But when potted, it is better to choose some soft, fertile and breathable soil, which grows faster. The best season for Selaginella growth is summer or autumn. Because it likes warmer environment, it has higher activity when planted at this time. As long as the stems are divided, many pots can be easily propagated.

water

Selaginella likes a relatively humid environment and needs to replenish enough water in time. Otherwise, the leaves will curl strongly and become a mess, which will affect the beauty of plants. But be careful when watering. For example, the amount and times of watering are different in different seasons. Be sure to water more in summer, at least once or twice a day, and less in winter, just once every three or four days.

3. Plastic surgery

Selaginella leaves are unique in shape, so they should be trimmed properly in order to make them more beautiful. Moreover, when applying nitrogen fertilizer to Selaginella, this plant will grow rapidly and crazily. At this time, it is necessary to prune in time to prevent the plants from being deformed in vain. Cutting off all branches that grow too long and too dense is beneficial to the subsequent growth of plants.

4. Prevention and treatment of diseases

Selaginella grows fast, but if the humidity and temperature are not well controlled, pests and diseases are easy to occur. Therefore, it is necessary to check plants regularly and do a good job of prevention and control in order to make plants grow healthily.

As long as the above methods are followed, Selaginella can grow very healthy and lush. If you like it, you may wish to raise a pot and experience it yourself!
