Huperzia square hybrid is known as a tassel fern and together with clubmosses they form the family of Lycopodiaceae which is consisting of four different genera including the Huperzia genera. Plants from the Huperzia genera are epiphytic and lithophytic plants, the Huperzia consists of over 200 species that occur in a big variety of places over the entire world. Huperzia square hybrid is an epiphytic plant, the epiphytic species from the Huperzia genera are commonly growing on other plants in nature and are therefore mostly native to humid environments like rainforests growing alongside or in mosses and other epiphytic plants at higher altitudes. Huperzia square hybrid is a real eyecatcher with its bright green foliage and it is the perfect basket plant that will form an attractive green “curtain” according to Araflora.

Huperzia square hybrid prefers sufficient light exposure, but it should not be exposed to direct full sun light, therefore indirect but bright sunlight exposure is recommended. Otherwise, the foliage of the plant might get a more pale appearance. Perhaps the most important requirement for keeping a tassel fern is that you have to make sure that there is a free air flow in your room that is unconstrainted. Musty conditions are detrimental to tassel ferns while they are mostly increasing the risk on pest attacks. Araflora provides Huperzia square hybrid with a well-draining and well-aerated potting mixture that also has a sufficient water retention capacity. The plant likes to be watered thoroughly, during warm conditions like the summer months the plant can be watered on a daily basis, but during the colder months the watering frequency should be reduced to prevent leaf and stem rot. Araflora advises to fertilize Huperzia square hybrid on a regular basis with a weak liquid fertiliser to support its growth. Makes sure that the temperature will stay between 15⁰C and 30⁰C.
