alienfx, those 2 weeds in your pots are my worst enemy. They root very well and have very big root systems which may result in competition with your neps. I suggest hand plucking them out.

Nepnut, that is a clubmoss/peacock fern (Selaginella sp). Its a rock growing relative of ferns. Can see it commonly if you go hiking, near shady places. The leaves of some species turn metallic blue if kept in deep shade. Easy to propagate and grow by cuttings. Use well drained soil.

Thanks for the ID paphioboy, I also have the metallic blue form but I ended up plucking them away since they're so vigorous with big roots and eventually cover everything up... So far the green form are more delicate and slower growing with small statue/form.

they will grow very well in pots of neps, and like the medium well drained with no standing water.

OKay now I hate those ferns on my vfts pot...I was taking them out of their pt for fridge dormancy and the fern's root is so strong that I used scissors to cut them off
