Selaginella Brownii

At Garden Care 

This pic was taken at Garden Centre, Kamaleshwaram, Trivandrum. During this time, this particular plant was appearing in many nurseries in Trivandrum. When asked for its name, most would say some kind of fern or some said it's called brain fern and also called Happy Fern.

Selaginella Brownii in Town ( Kraus's Mounding Spikemoss )

Thanks to Google, I landed in this site ( Pumpkinbeth), I finally got the name of the plant right. As the name goes, it has some semblance to selaginella ( club moss). However, it's more delicate plant to grow at home. Most times, the plant I had bought from store has wilted in no time, leaving just an empty pot with a threadbare dried stocks. 

As per the info given, it's said that this plant requires shade and soil should be a well drained one
