Hi

Its a type of conifer so outdoors , dont know the name of it sorry

Gg

Hallo Gg. Thanks for your answer. I thought it looked like conifer of some sorts but the "leaves" are very soft compared to the conifers that I have growing in tubs.

It looks similar to Thuga plicata Zebrina but I wouldn't swear to it. If it is it is definitely a plant for the garden. It could grow to 12' in 10 years.

It's a type of moss...an indoor plant called selaginella. Not sure of the specific name tho....possibly pallescens

That is interesting Andy j.

Used to grow them in the palm house in Brighton when i looked after it along with other mosses such as Selaginella apoda.

Whatever you do, never let it dry out.

Thanks for the different answers. I will now just wait and see what happens to it.

Andy is a professional gardener you can trust his answer Rogi. I did not know the plant but it does look similar to a thuja in shape and colouring. I have looked at Selaginella and if you look very closely at your photo you can see it is one.

I agree with Andy, we had Neil Timms a fern specialst grower showing us some of these only on Thursday.

Just as well you lot knew what it was

Gg I always say the more I find out the more I realise how little I know but there is strength in numbers and I hope if I guess wrongly someone will know better. I have conifers with soft foliage so it is a case of knowing through experience of the plant.
