Huperzia Goebelii
(syn. Phlegmariurus goebelii)
A rare epiphytic lycophyte — not a true fern but a member of one of the most ancient lineages of vascular plants on Earth — native to the tropical rainforests of Southeast Asia, where it grows anchored to tree branches and hanging downward in spectacular pendant colonies. Also known as the Blue Tassel Fern or Goebel's Clubmoss, it is best displayed hanging or mounted to allow its arching, densely branched stems to cascade freely. Reproduces via spores rather than seeds, and grows slowly but can form impressive specimens over time with consistent care. Toxicity data is limited — keep away from pets and children as a precaution.
-
Light: Low to medium filtered indirect light — mimics the forest understory where it naturally grows. Avoid direct sun which damages the delicate foliage.
-
Soil: Best grown mounted on cork bark or tree fern slabs with sphagnum moss; if potted, use a very open, fine bark and moss mix with excellent drainage and airflow. Never in dense potting soil.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 60-75°F; high humidity of 70-80%+ is critical — terrarium or greenhouse culture is ideal. Good air movement is essential alongside high humidity.
-
Watering: Keep consistently and evenly moist — never allow to dry out fully. Use rainwater or distilled water; sensitive to mineral buildup from tap water.
-
Fertilizer: Feed monthly with a balanced fertilizer diluted to quarter strength; light, consistent feeding only — sensitive to fertilizer salt accumulation.

Customers praised this healthy fern for arriving "beautiful" and "exactly as described." The "first class packaging" ensures secure delivery with no mess. One shopper noted "bigger and more plush than expected." However, one customer experienced delayed delivery and limited communication, rating 3 stars. Overall highly recommended for quality and care.
I bought 5 plants in this order and all were as described. I think this is my 3rd time ordering from this store and every time I receive beautiful healthy plants. I even received a free mint monstera this time! I’ll keep purchasing rare and unusual plants from this store. I love it!
I ordered a Huperzia Goebelii Fern, and it arrived quickly, and very well packaged. It was actually bigger and more plush than I expected, so I was really happy when it arrived. I plan to buy at least one more eventually, and I would definitely get it from this seller.
I am absolutely thrilled and beyond happy with my order! 🙌☘️💚🌱
Thank you so much to the seller for such an incredible delivery of my plants! Everything arrived in perfect condition — healthy, beautiful, and exactly as described. The packaging was truly outstanding, very secure and done with so much care and professionalism. You can tell this seller really loves what they do and values their customers.
This has been one of the best plant-buying experiences I’ve ever had. I felt confident and comfortable throughout the whole process. Communication was great, shipping was fast, and the quality exceeded my expectations.
I highly recommend this seller to anyone looking for healthy, well-cared-for plants and reliable service. You can absolutely trust them — I will definitely be ordering again! 🐝🌿
Had a bit of a wait to receive my order and no real response when I asked about delivery time, I will only give 3 stars. But the plant was beautiful, and well packaged.
It well surpassed my expectations!! The first class packaging kept the plant very secure and stable... not a speck of dirt or a loose leaf to be found out of place. But the plant itself was magnificent. I'll be turning to this seller for more plants after this wholly 5 star experience!
I put the huperzia upside down and it's chillin' nicely, thank you! It's still in the original potting media and it seems happy!
Fabulous Strong rooted Plant. Healthy! Even has new sprouts in multi places. Securely winterizing & fast shipping was perfect for this weather!!! Always above & beyond from these fabulous folks. I will return
Beautiful healthy Huperzia goebellii. Thanks very much.
Shipping live plants through the mail is risky and a challenge. These guys have got it down. Well packaged, secure, no soil all in the box or anything. They know what they’re doing. Thank you.
Beautiful plant. Will really enjoy watching it grow. Highly recommend!
It arrived and is exactly as advertised
A nice plant which was well packaged, rapidly shipped and which arrived on time.
Beautiful huperzia plant. It was very well packed with safe delivery. I highly recommend this seller! ☆☆☆☆☆!
Very well packaged plants that arrived in great condition !
The review is mostly for the seller. The seller was wonderful during this process. USPS didn’t deliver my plants for a long period of time, and during that process the plants I ordered died. The seller helped me through the process of refunding. The plants looked like they would have been of great quality. I would recommend ordering from them in the future.
Beautiful and healthy plant. Thank you so much 💚
Cool plant. Something different than what I’m use to
Purchased 2 of these and both arrived well packaged - healthy - I’m happy
Two sweet baby plants - unique, healthy, packaged safely and I give this Etsy shop 5 stars
NICE! I love this plant, can't wait till it cascades. It is beautiful!
