Biggest Plant Dictionary | Selaginella plana | Spikemoss is a primitive plant and although it produces spores it is not a true fern. It is considered one of the fern allies in a genus that consists of 700 species. Spikemoss loves the same growing conditions as ferns, so give it ample moisture, high humidity and shade. They have scale-like leaves and most species are creeping plants that form dense carpets of soft mounds that love to sprawl between the rocks of waterfalls.
