cultivation of lycopodium clavatum

Discussion in 'Outdoor Gardening in the Pacific Northwest' started by Unregistered, Jun 14, 2005.

  1. Has anyone had any success propagating or cultivating this or other temperate Lycopodiums? I took a 3 inch cutting from a wild plant and layed it on top of some evenly moist peat/sand mix (moistened by rainwater) in a 4 inch pot and covered it with a ziplock bag to retain humidity. I set the pot outside in full shade. Three weeks have passed and the cutting has already sent an adventitious root down into the soil and has grown about 3 or 4 lateral shoots about 1 inch or so in length.

    My question is what to do next? Since everything I've read about the cultivation of temperate Lycopodiums suggest that a high failure rate is to be expected, I'm unsure of how to proceed with transplanting or growing it on. Does this plant absolutely need mycorrhizae to survive? I am also growing Selaginella wallacei and it doesn't seem depend on that requirement. Any suggestions?
