 From a wild population in South Africa.

    This member of the Selaginellaceae family was given this name by A. Braun in 1859. It was originally found in South Africa, but have been spread around the warmer part of the world like New Zealand, USA and Hawaii. It grows on shady, moist ground with plenty of water. The plant can grow to ten centimetre, and can be reproduced by cuttings.

My own plant started to "flower" after a year.
