Huperzia 'Lycopodium' nummulariifolia - Lyco02

Huperzia nummulariifolia takes its name from its coin-shaped leaves (nummus = coin, folia = leaves). Huperzia nummulariifolia consists of forked or braided stems with small, flat leaves. It is found in the wild throughout most of south-east Asia. As a true epiphyte it is highly suitable to be cultivated in a hanging pot. Huperzia nummulariifolia does not produce flowers but forms spores for the purposes of propagation between its leaves.

Plant care: Huperzia (syn: Lycopodium) nummulariifolia

Huperzia nummulariifolia does not require a great deal of attention. Plants needs to be watered every three days but the growing medium must never become saturated. It is best to include add a few pebbles at the bottom of the pot so water can drain away easily. Huperzia nummulariifolia needs plenty of light but must not be exposed to direct sunlight or fierce bright light. Plants require a high level of humidity at a temperature between 15⁰ C and 30⁰ C. The best substrate consists of peat or sphagnum moss. A moderate amount of fertiliser will promote the plant’s growth. Good air circulation will protect Huperzia nummulariifolia from infection. Pruning is not advisable.
