Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top centimeter of soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, while drought stress can cause wilting and browning of the foliage. Use filtered or distilled water if your tap water is heavily chlorinated.

Pruning is generally not required for *Huperzia arctica* as it maintains a compact, low-growing habit. Remove any dead or yellowing stems as needed to maintain appearance and prevent potential disease.

This can be done at any time of year.

Propagation is typically done through division of established clumps during repotting. Carefully separate the rhizomes, ensuring each division has roots and shoots.

Alternatively, spores can be collected and germinated under specific sterile conditions, but this is a challenging method for home growers.

Repot *Huperzia arctica* every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Use a well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Repot in spring when new growth begins.

Choose a pot that is only slightly larger than the current root ball.
