I have loved this in a small pot my son gave me about 4 years ago. Beautiful streamers about 3 feet long. This year it seems to be dying back rather early. Does it have a shelf life?

Selaginella uncinata is native to China, and is widely cultivated elsewhere.
I have tried several times growing this species in a shady spot outdoors here, but the plants don't survive for long (probably because of a lack of humidity).
However, I'm sure that it would make a wonderful indoor or terrarium plant.

Can be aggressive, I have to take a firm hand to keep it in bounds. Makes a nice ground cover under shrubs, but can choke out smaller, or fragile plants. The more shade it has, the more intense the blue tones are. Goes dormant in winter, but colors up quickly in the spring.

Does quite well in damp shade. Can thin extensively in winter or dry conditions. Interesting ground cover for very small area.
