This is Selaginalla Unicata. Also known as Peacock Fern or Rainbow Moss. Technically not a moss or fern but classified as a fern. Under certain lighting she’s a beautiful iridescent blue. After a third visit, she was undeniable.

I couldn’t resist for $13 at Kroger. I feel like my photos don’t do it justice. The blue is more prominent in person.

DanikaWow I’m impressed you have it just out in ambient air! I have been looking into this one recently and keep reading that its more of a terrarium fern!

So far so good. It’s in a bright room with about 65-70 percent humidity. I do have to keep it misted every day so the ends don’t dry out. So I can totally see why this would do better in a terrarium. It’s just so big.. I haven’t quite figured out how I would eventually keep it happy long term.

I feel the exact same way about my huge cissus discolor. Its been fading away ever so slowly since i got it. Its probably half the size it was when I got it. Says it needs super high humidity and super bright indirect light. Its in 60% and has a grow-light but i still pull off 2-3 dead leaves every other day. Some plants are just not meant for our homes! Lol. Oh well. Can’t win them all! Let us know how that one goes!

This is my peacock fern. I purchased it about 2 weeks ago for $30. I couldn’t resist her.
