So I don't think they're likely candidates as houseplants, even if some growers try to encourage sales by potting them up to look like bonsai.<br /><br />Of the junipers in common production, the bluest is Juniperus squamata 'Blue Star'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2481706068105246695.post-35079961666684646892011-01-26T11:23:58.659-08:002011-01-26T11:23:58.659-08:00Selaginella is a challenging house plant.
