Lycopodium Hanging Plant

Growing Environment

• Best Suited for Indoor Growing: Lycopodium is ideal for indoor environments with filtered light and high humidity.
• Outdoor Option: Can be grown in shady, humid areas of the garden but is best suited for indoor hanging baskets.

Light Requirements

• Optimal Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.
• Tip: If indoors, place near a window with filtered light or use sheer curtains to diffuse strong sunlight.

Watering

• Frequency: Water when the top layer of soil feels slightly dry, usually every 1-2 weeks.
• Method: Water thoroughly, ensuring excess drains away; do not let the plant sit in waterlogged soil.

Humidity Needs

• Ideal Humidity: Thrives in high humidity, ideally 60-80%.
• Tip: Increase humidity indoors with a humidity tray or by misting the foliage regularly.

Fertilizing

• Type: Use a balanced fertilizer suitable for ferns and epiphytes.
• Frequency: Feed every 4-6 weeks during the growing season.
• Tip: Reduce fertilization during the dormant season in winter.

Air Circulation

• Importance: Adequate air circulation is crucial to prevent mold and promote healthy growth.
• Tip: Place in a well-ventilated area, avoiding direct drafts from air conditioning or fans.
