Khairim, are lycopodiums sensitive to temperature/humidity fluctuations? I have never tried one before, and I thought of getting one but since you grow them (and perhaps other forum members as well?) I might as well find out first. I had bad experiences growing something that needs high humidity and good ventilation because my area hardly provides either one  |

Hey funkychips... I grow some lycopods too... and they seem quite easy going for me so far. Just keep them wet and damp... I think they like fertilisation too...

To funkychips
Lyco is easy to grow BUT difficult to propogate.
Here the tips for you.
In jungle, they are epiphyte. But when you grow in your garden, the best method for me is by using plastic pot. Why? Its will maintain the damp condition longer than clay pot.
Media : I used 100% moss - its enough if you just using the low class moss. Why? Again. its will maintain the damp condition longer than other media.
Regards

Light : 50% shade is the best for lycos.  |

Yr Sisik naga looks fabulous. mine always has dried spots. i guess it helps to keep them under trees outside to enjoy the rain yah ? pity my garden space is limited.

The 'sisik naga', if you lucky can get it from the 'orang asli' when travelling from gambang to Muadzam Shah, Pahang. I got mine from the stalls.
