Ground-pine
Lycopodium clavatum
Ground-pine is a slow-growing, ancient clubmoss that requires cool, moist, acidic soils and consistent moisture to thrive — conditions that make it challenging to cultivate outside its natural woodland habitat. It is best suited for shaded woodland gardens or terrariums where humidity and soil acidity can be carefully managed. Avoid disturbing established plants, as they are notoriously difficult to transplant and recover slowly from stress.
