Selaginella uncinata, commonly known as the Peacock Fern, produces dense, creeping mats of delicate, fern-like foliage with an iridescent blue-green sheen that changes depending on the angle of the light. It is not actually a fern but a lycophyte, part of an ancient lineage of plants that predates the dinosaurs. It stays low and spreading, making it an excellent ground cover in a terrarium or a textural accent in a humid display. It thrives in the same conditions that many tropical plants enjoy: warmth, humidity, and indirect light.
