Selaginella spec. variegated

With its delicately feathered and silvery shimmering fronds, which are all individually variegated, this enchanting Selaginella fern is a real tropical beauty. In the wild, it often grows on the slopes of rivers and streams and therefore also prefers a similarly moist environment in terrarium culture.
