Kraus's clubmoss 'Golden Tips'

In milder frost-free areas, grow outdoors in moderately fertile, humus-rich, neutral to slightly acidic, moist but well-drained soil in partial shade, with shelter from cold drying winds; in colder areas, grow under glass, in bright filtered or indirect light and high humidity, but with good air circulation, in a rapidly draining, coarse, open medium rich in organic matter, for example a loam-based medium, such as John Innes No. 2, with additional leafmould, bark, sharp sand or fine grit and some charcoal, and when growing water freely and apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly, but keep just moist in winter

No pruning required
