The tips is based on my experience growing Lycopodium about 7 years in Malaysia.1. What is the best media for Lycopodium?You can use several media like;
a. 1 : 1 : 1 of perlite, peat moss and charcoal
b. 100% sphagnum moss (my favourite media)
c. 1: 1 of coconut husk and perlite
d. 1:1:1 of perlite, charcoal and sphagnum moss
The suitable media will depend on your microclimate and watering habit. For me, in Central of Malaysia, I love to use with 100% high grade of sphagnum moss.
2. How often to water your Lycopodium?Depend on your media. By using 100% sphagnum moss, I water my
Lycos in alternate day.
3. How often to fertilize your Lycopodium?
Once a month with high Nitrogen organic fertilizer. I feed my
Lycos with foliar and powder form fertilizer.
4. How about the disease?In my collection, I always have a problem with
Fusarium aka 'Fish Egg Fungus'.
5. Pot or driftwood, which one better?Driftwood will give your Lycos like in nature .. but it will effect your watering schedule. Mine, I grow them in plastic pot, its seem they love it very much.
6. Light?The best condition is 50% sun light. It will give you the best green color.
