Anyone grow Selaginella lepidophylla?
Has anyone grown Selaginella lepidophylla?
I have heard this plant referred to as the Rose of Jericho, and the Dinosaur Plant. My understanding is that the Rose of Jericho is in the mustard family (Brassicaceae), not Selaginellaceae.
Most of the information I have been able to find is from online sellers trying to win kids and their parents on the appeal of the plant's unusual properties, as well as the Dinosaur Plant name. It seems like the plant version of "Sea Monkeys" given the way it's marketed.
S. lepidophylla seems like it would make a neat addition to a cactus collection, but given my inability to find any serious account of their cultivation, I still have no idea what it might be like to grow one. Anyone have experience with this one?
Hey Treehaus,
You are right on the Rose of Jericho being a crucifer.
You may be able to find dead plants available on the net.
These are pulled out of their habitat and bagged and sold as resurrection plants that will spring back to life when you put them into a bowl of water. Yeah really!!! NOT!
They do uncurl. They may even turn green but alive means being able to grow. This they do not do. I know because I have tried to grow these poor plants. I even sent some to Judith at Fancy Fronds to try as she is more the expert at growing Selaginellas than I. No luck with her either.
The plant should be very easy but you need a living plant!!
That means you would have to find them, they occur into Texas, and be able to collect a whole plant with the rhizomes/rhizophores intact. My experience with other members of this subsection which includes S. kraussiana is that they need moisture at their roots even if it is only condensation during the night that amasses on the plant and rolls down to the center of the plant and feeds the rhizomes.
I have never found a site that offers live plants. I would not be surprised that someone prob. in Texas has these and is growing them but finding them ???
Just keep in mind that because it curls up to protect itself does not infer that its rhizomes are dried out as well. My feelings are that this plant can retain water overnight and that there is daily water available from both evaporation from the soil upward to the rhizomes and from condensation on the plants and surrounding soil. Incidentally the plant occurs in rocky places, ledges, where water can percolate deep. I often wonder to what extent there are actual basins of available water hidden under the debris and ridges that these and other nearby plants can tap.
If you are interested in a Selaginella species that is almost similar but of the other section, Tetragonostachys (think i got this spelled right) then check out Selaginella bigelovii which is available at Fancy Fronds in Washington.
Here is the link:
She is currently offerring both S. bigelovii and S. wallacei. S. bigelovii spreads by underground stems. S. wallacei sprawls across the surface producing little root-like structures called rhizophores that anchor the stem into the rocky substrate. These grow easily for me in Santa Maria, California.
Incidentally I hope to be having a web journal up on the ones I am currently growing: S. scopulorum, S. hansenii, S. bigelovii, and S. wallacei. I already have one up on S. sanguinolenta compressa though it really is focused upon the moss flora that occurs with it in the 4 inch pot that it is in. There is a thread with link in this forum.
terrestrial man,
See, that's just what I wondered about. I had not read any accounts of their actual cultivation (and growth), just that they unfurl and turn green when watered. What a scam! Well, thank you for the information.
Those questions as to S. lepidophylla's methods for obtaining moisture are interesting - it can be really hard to find information about how some plants live in their natural habitats. I did read that S. lepidophylla grows in the Big Bend area in West Texas, and having been there once before, I can tell you it says a great deal about the Selaginellaceae family that some of its members have adapted to such an environment. It can be extremely dry there. If the plant grows as you say on rocky ledges, perhaps they grow in the cool of certain cliffs above rivers, or beside springs?
Thank you for the link to Fancy Fronds - I have not heard of it until now, so I will definitely check it out. S. bigelovii sounds very interesting! Thank you for the suggestions.
Thank you for the invitation to have a look at your web journal, I look forward to seeing what you post there about Selaginellas - sounds like you have a very impressive assortment of them!
Thank you for sharing your suggestions and knowledge about these plants.
Thanks Treehaus.
I have been studying Selaginella bigelovii for quite a while. I have done a basic survey of its habitat from the Sierra Madres bordering the Cuyama River east of me down into the San Gabriel Mountains just north of the Los Angeles area.
The species is definitely located in areas where there is bound to be some kind of condensation as well as here short and intermittent summer showers. The fact an area looks arid and dry can be illusory. You really need to spend time in the area to see what is really happening!! I would think that the Selaginella in Big Bend occurs at some point above the river or along feeders into it, prob. wedged into crevasses between boulders. My observations are basically assumptions based upon certain environmental interactions. My major at UCSB was environmental biology.
I also a learner by experience. Sometimes the hard knocks sink in!!!? One was mistakedly thinking that because the area looked very dry that the plants could handle dryness!! Only netted dead plants!!! Ummmhhh must have been a wrong conclusion somewhere!!
In appropriate habitat, this is a common plant in the Big Bend area. Problem there is that the national park, state park, & WMA in the area don't approve of collecting and the rest of the land is private.
Likelihood of condensation in the Big Bend area is quite low. There are no significant large sources of humidity, and the plants are not restricted to the sorts of microhabitats that will concentrate humidity. They appear to require exposed limestone at low elevations, and not much else. Generally not on south or southwest facing slopes, but common enough on open north & east slopes. Not any more common in canyons, that I could tell, and in the case of Closed Canyon in the state park, they were more abundant on nearby rock outside the canyon than within it.
They're cool plants; I also wish I had a good live source. Here's the best I've found:
They list five species and say the collection includes their choice of three... but I wonder how much I should trust their IDs, and what the actual likelihood of getting a plant of Selaginella lepidophylla out of this is (their wording would be strictly correct even if they never send any S. lepidophylla!).
Patrick Alexander
Thanks Patrick!
Interesting comments. It would be interesting to find out about their habitat and what these plants deal with during the course of a year and what allows them to survive there.
Be interesting to see if any scientist has taken the time to really investigate the region or this particular species.
A friend (from Denmark, who I believe was working in coordination with the Copenhagen Botanic Garden) did collect the species in Mexico and is apparently growing it successfully in a gritty soil in full sun. I have emailed him to get the particulars on what he collected: the entire plant roots and all or just hack off or pull out the plants like the bagged ones?? Maybe the plants I got could have made it???? I did not put them into full sun. Maybe I over watered them?? Lots of questions. Especially since these are not complex vascular plants and have no regular means of storing water with only their habit of curling up as being one response to the aridity. An interesting subject to check into.
On the Carolina Biological Supply source one might email them and find out if they actually have any of it. It may only be available later in the year??? Or ???
I will check to see if the source I got it from still offers it. One thought: if you know where some might be in the area on private property you might want to check with the property owner to see if you could take some. I think that mastering the cultivation and propagation of this plant is a worthy goal as it is something that interests many.
Thanks Patrick!

Ok, found out that my original source no longer carries the product.
But you can buy individual plants a the link below.
The shipping is probably as much as the plant itself or more.
But it comes with growing instructions! I just hope it isn't stick it in a bowl of water and watch it turn green!!
Here is a link that might be useful: Buy resurrection plant here
Wow, I dropped out of this conversation, glad I checked back in!
Terrestrialman, I followed the link you have provided - is this resurrection plant alive then? I too would not want it to be something you stick in the water only to watch it turn green rather than grow. I decided to try to contact someone at the company to see if we can find out if the plant is alive or just a novelty. I will let you know if they respond to my inquiry.
I got an email from my Danish friend who actually collected a plant in Mexico. Here is what he said:
"About the Selaginella lepidophyta. I dig it up, and it had small roots. I
lost it to hair-like fungus, and did not try to save it, thought I just buy
a new. But they does not work for me either. Wonder if they are just too
old, or have been boiled or heated? No one seems to be able to grow them."
When he says no one he is talking about several growers in Europe and probably America.
Has anyone grown Selaginella tamariscina? An Asiann species that curls up when dry. A friend collected some during one of his plant hunting expeditions to China about 25 years ago and has maintained it in his garden since then.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I have no experience with it. Is it epiphytic? In the picture you included a link to, the Selaginella appears to be growing on the surface of a rock, but maybe I am wrong. How is your friend growing it? It looks a great deal like Selaginella lepidophylla.
Wow what a surprise!
This species is basically unknown in cultivation but is known in the pharmacology trade. All I can find are Chinese links that are pointless to pursue since I do not read chinese!
But can you find out more on how your friend is growing this species. Has this species reproduced more plants for him or is it the only one that has grown.
Any information would be a big plus of knowledge that should be documented.
Much thanks.
My friend grows the Selaginella tamariscina in his garden soil, which is composed of compost developed from many years of decayed vegetative matter in a mesic woodland. Underlying soil is red clay. USDA Zone 7. He propagates them by division of the original plant and said that he has never observed a mature sporophyte, during the many years he has grown them. Maybe his original plant was sterile? or only produces one type of sporophyll or conditions in that environment is not condusive to producing zygotes and then sporophytes? Unknown!
He also related that S. tamariscina is a favorite in Japan for use in Bonsai and that he had observed many different colors in use for that purpose, often they were Japanese named cultivars. The species was readily available at almost all local nurseries there.
Since it is relatively easily cultivated species, one would wonder why it isn't more available here? I didn't find it on the APHIS list of prohibited plant imports.???
Thanks Georgia-Rose for the feedback.
Does your friend have any available that he would be willing to part with. What I am thinking is that if he is interested in introducing the species into the commercial trade then I would introduce him to the only commercial enterprise that I know who is actually growing different species of Selaginella to sell. She does not rip off native stands to sell but has developed a diverse inventory of available propagations for the marketplace. The five species I have are entirely from her stock. If so, let me know and I will contact her to see if she is interested in doing so as I cannot vouch for her schedule or commitments.
Otherwise I would encourage propagation of the species and development of cultural guidelines for the marketplace. Note: there is not a whole lot of money in this venture as the interest in these plants is limited though I would suspect that some kind of mailer to the different universities with greenhouses might be fruitful as such a plant as an oddity would be a curious addition and educational tool at that level. This would be marginally profitable. I have other ideas as well in such an effort. But first find out if he would like to introduce the species.
While looking for links for my Selaginella web journal I found this very interesting site with a great image of this new Resurrection Plant.
Here is a link that might be useful: Selaginella tamariscina
Hello Patrick Alexander,
Say I just ran across an image you left at the USDA of a plant of Selaginella lepidophylla!
Excellent close up shot too.
Just wondering if you know of anyone who has tried to study this species and to explain how it survives in its habitat.
The morphology is obviously related.
I would like to read any habitat studies on this species!!
Apparently besides the Chinese look-alike there is one in India as well! Called Selaginella bryopteris. Apparently there is some value and study being done on the pharmaecology of the species. Part of the Indian study indicates that a growth promoting ability with protection against heat related cell death may be a significant factor for use in assisting those subjected to heat shock! I also believe the Chinese have done some investigations into the value of their species but I do not handle pictorial languages at all!!!
I saw an ad for Selaginella lepidophylla but hesitate as it sounds like people are just ripping them out of the wild to sell and I think they are endangered. Is it illegal to collect them from the wild? Is there anywhere one can buy one with the assurance they were cultivated?
Hello Sharon,
Did the ad call the plant a "Ressurrection Fern" and mentioned that all you have to do is just sit it in water
and it will green up?
I have been trying to get some that were not just yanked out of the area they grow in, mostly in southern Texas and
New Mexico and into Central Mexico. Most of the plants that are being sold are harvested off of private property and I do not believe any of the laws protect them except on public property.
Unlike the creeping types of Selaginella that throw off rhizoids along their stems S. lepidophylla and some others have their rhizoids growing fro the center of the plant. What appears to be the case is that in order to grow and propagate these types of species you need the entire plant with the rhizoids INTACT as the growing points of the rhizoids are lost when the plants are ripped out.
While some observers in the field believe these plants to really be able to dry out and survive I definitely have my doubts. My belief is that if the plant dries out at all it will die entirely. What is important to note is that the plants occur in areas where condensation occurs due to temperature fluctuations from hot days to cool nights and the way this species is arranged around a central core suggests to me that the plants captures atmospheric condensation which permeates into the area where the rhizoids occurs-this is all just conjecture on my part as I am not in a position to prove or disprove it as I am down in Santa Maria and it is impossible for me to do any trekking as well for such studies.
If you are interested in growing a Selaginella then I would suggest trying Selaginella wallaceii. This is an easy species and would enjoy your shade cool garden in a spot that is humid and moist but getting some direct sun.
Here is one grower in your area that might be able to help you get some-let him know that Jerry Copeland referred you to him. He lists his plant as unavailable but perhaps he can get you some ??? Other wise you can try Selaginella bigelovii which is very common expecially in Sonomoa county just off 101. S. wallaceii is probably found towards Guerneville. There is a possibility of finding S. oregana-an epiphytic species in that area as well.
Here is a link to the USDA section on Selaginella of North America with info and images

Hi Jerry,
Thanks for all of the good info. I knew nothing about this plant or its family until I saw an ad. After reading what you sent me, I won't be buying one, but I will be reading about them from the cool websites you sent. And if I do buy one from that source you suggested, I will definitely say Jerry sent me. Thanks again for opening up yet another world of beauty and interest for me.
I also would love to find this Selaginella that has any ability to be grown. I also would love to get in contact with anyone to compare lists and trade.
Here is a link that might be useful: Selaginellas I Grow
The previous postings correctly note that commercially availible plants are mostly dead. The key here is the term "mostly." I have found that the tips of these plants often still have living tissue, and I've even been able to grow small rosettes from these tips. However, it looks like it will take 2-3 years for these small plants (0.25-1")to grow back to the 3-6" plants that come in the mail. The process is also rather drastic, but for those who have the patience and a strong stomach, here is a procedure that should give you several living specimens: Take a dry plant ball, break off all of the branches, and then throw the roots away. Next, soak all of the branches overnight in a dilute solution of fungicide. They seem to tolerate copper-based fungicides quite well. While they are soaking, prepare a pot of soil and sterilize it to the best of your ability. I borrowed an autoclave at work, but I've also had good results with peat-based cactus soil that was not sterilized. Maybe one could soak the soil in fungicide?
At any rate, after 2-3 days in the water, all of the branches should have unfurled and become flat. It should also become apparent at this time which branches are still alive and which ones are just plain dead. The living branches will be bright emerald green, while dead branches range from a pale dusty-green to brown. Collect the living branches, and then press them flat into the surface of the soil. Good surface contact is essential. Cover the pot with saran-wrap to keep the branches in a humid environment, and then wait about 6 weeks. Meanwhile, keep the soil moist, and be ready to remove moldy branches as soon as possible.
After 4-6 weeks, the branch tips will begin to grow fresh white roots into the soil. At this point, harden them off to dry air, but kept the soil moist.
Using this procedure it is possible to recover about a dozen plantlets from a single specimen,and on at least two occasions I've even had sporelings germinate from the brown lower portions of the branches. However, I have had problems with mineral buildup that eventually kills the growing tip, mosses that sprout on top of the new growth, and some kind of algae that covered the entire thing in a layer of dark green goo. For those that survive past these hurdles, you can expect your plant to form something resembling a rosette in 2-3 months, growing at a rate of about 2-4 mm per month.
Does anyone know how big it gets if you get a live one? Does it grow up or out staying sort of flat? How long can I keep my dead green one in water? I had to put my email her, please no emails to me. I will read the replys here.
Thank you
For S. lepidophylla the width of the plant is probably about 8 to 10 inches for an old established plant. In conditions where it gets consistent moisture then it lies flat. But it will roll up when dry conditions arise.
Do not keep your dead plant in water at all. You can place the plant in water to get it to unroll but put it into a pot filled with fine gravel. You can spray it to get it to unravel or even set it outside and in humid weather it will unfold on its own.
I bought one of these as a novelty, I thought that the plant was actually alive but it appears not, this is a big shame as I thought it would grow and maybe reproduce... It's a scam and it just opens up and turns green, nothing else. Is there any way to get the whole thing alive to the UK? I would love to own a living one, thanks!
Vincent123, I doubt if you could acquire this particular species. You might try looking for S. tamarascina in your area as I believe it is probably being grown somewhere in Europe.
Your best bet on the ones you have bought there is to see if any of the stems have green tissue left and remove that
stem and place it onto a moist base, such as sand and peat moss and keep humid in a cool and shaded spot. I have read where some have actually gotten them to "root" out but I do not know if such attempts proved successful in the long run.
What is needed is for someone in the area where they occur, in Texas or New Mexico, to dig one up intact without disturbing the root system and grow it in a pot and then after a year or so of successful growth try dividing the plant and see what happens. I believe such a propagation will work as long as the roots are not allowed to dry out.
I've had an entirely different experience. I ordered my Jericho plant and got it today. It was a brown ball. I put it in water and over 6 hours later I'm seeing it open with greenery. It looks very healthy. About 80% of the leaves have turned green so far.
While it was soaking I found this web site and became worried, but it has made it all the more exciting as it opens and becomes greener by the minute.
I ordered this through Amazon.com through a company called Cyber Planet and I'm very happy so far.
tacapollo, done that & they eventually died. You may try removing one from the water once it is unfurled & allow it to dry back & then resoak & repeat the cycle to see if it continues to come back green or not.
I have heard conflicting stories of plants being dried out for years & coming back but without scientific verification I file them in the dead file!
I'd like to try to let it grow before I let it dry out. I'm thinking about trying to propogate it from a frond/leaf cutting. I'll keep this page posted on how things go.
I wish I could find a reliable scientific report online about them. All I can find are various personal sucess/unsucess stories and conflicting growing conditions such as full sun/light sun/bright light but no direct sun/full shade. I tend to go for more sun considering their natural habitat, but I've read sun fades their color. Plant in dirt/plant in gravel/leave in water....it's so confusing! LOL
The tip cutting method didn't work for me, the cuttings became fuzzy with fungi despite a fungicide; I might try again later. However I got some lepidophylla from MarsBazaar on Amazon and it unfurled into a deep green plant with fleshy leaves that doesn't look anything like the dead plants I received before. I'll look for new growth but I'm hoping this is it. I think this might just have been luck but if you're desperate, MarsBazaar might be your best chance. At least for a while I assume their stock will dry up and die similar to all the others.

One of the reasons I think people get so confused on whether their plant is dead or not is that when it dries out the tissues of lepidophylla are chock full of antioxidants, which preserve the chlorophyll pigment, even though no metabolic reactions are occurring.
If you want to experiment with the S. lepidophylla you may want to try growing it on sterile media in a very humid but airy environment with good light.
Perhaps ground up pumice in a clay pot, watered once with distilled water, drained, then placed in a terrarium with 70% to 80% humidity.
Crack open during day to vent, close at night.
Spray as necessary to keep humidity at least at 70% but
do not water the plant, just spray it Water will trickle into the mix.
Be sure that there is good light and keep the temperature range from mid 50s F into 70s F.
Maybe this will work??
Here is a link that might be useful: Picture of habitat
Yeah that sounds like a great idea. I'm hoping to get a terrarium soon I'm in a dorm so this pot was all I had available at the time. Hopefully I can set it up soon.
I can confirm new growth! The potted rosettes are growing new rhizomes that are fleshy and white. The offshoots are also responding to light.
I noticed that the plant is actually a single stem that spirals tightly upwards in a circle with offshoots producing the rosette. Each offshoot produces a rhizome at it's base, eventually growing into previous offshoots and creating a tangled net of vertical rhizomes and horizontal offshoots. I believe that old offshoots and rhizomes eventually compost, creating soil near new rhizomes. This is just a hypothesis and I'm providing this description because I haven't found anyone describe the growth pattern anywhere on the net.
Congrats Natanada on getting new growth. Have not done any research into the morphology of this species though the notion of it being a simple compressed stem with the branches being the plant we see makes perfect sense. Definitely keep us informed as to your success on growing the plants you have!!

This organization utilized an illegal contractor to do work in our home and when damage occurred, this nonprofit refused to reimburse us for our losses. They refuse to provide us with a copy of their complaint procedures and written forms. They refuse to provide us with their insurance carrier information and will not even release public information to us. They seem to be padding the hours worked by the contractor and fudging dates of service and completion. The nonprofit uses delay tactics in an effort to make the problem go away on its own without proper resolution. They seem to be discriminating against people who speak up against their shady business practices. Beware of this company and do not contribute to them until they complete an independent audit.

UKIP in Surrey Heath
The UK Independence Party is committed to providing Britain with a government that will make a positive difference, including withdrawing Britain from the European Union. We recognise the people of Surrey Heath will be much better off without EU interference and its huge financial drain on the economy. International co-operation, which we support, does not require 'ever closer political union'!
Over the past year, we have seen the public in ever larger numbers come to see that the problems we face are caused in large part through our membership of the EU and exacerbated by the LibLabCon MP's failure to address that. UKIP's support has grown nationally, as well as locally - e.g. in 2013, polling over 22%, and in 2014 widely polling over 32%. In 2014, we have seen two by-elections won by UKIP - in Clacton, Essex and Rochester and Strood, Kent giving UKIP two MP's (Douglas Carswell & Mark Reckless) - each with significant majorities - UKIP have created a political earthquake and are now mainstream, with representatives in all levels of government. Unlike the 'LibLabCon', UKIP offer policies for the UK, that will make Britain 'Great' once more, no longer looking back to an outdated model for trade etc.
Paul Chapman heads up the local constituency branch for UKIP.
The traditional political parties in Britain have for years exaggerated the benefits of EU membership, and covered up the EU waste and corruption. We believe that Britain should be an independent self-governing nation and not part of a European Federal Superstate. But more than that, UKIP offers a future in which Britain is free to govern itself, to enforce its own laws, to control its borders, and to make a successful way economically trading well with the whole world (not just tied to a few member countries in an outdated model, as the EU offers). And above all, able to honour promises to its citizens.
We welcome support from people who believe in british parliamentary democracy. We are campaigning not just to get control of our country back from Brussels, but in the process, to bring about more local democracy, fairness, and the chance for ordinary people to choose, rather than just be told by unelected bureaucrats. The party has a full compliment of domestic and international policies, covering all the main issues that affect Britain today.
Several members of the current committee are shown in picture just above.
We have local policies that we contend will make the Surrey Heath area a better place to live, work and enjoy. Come, join us and help us make a difference!
Following the elections held on 22nd May 2014, UKIP Surrey Heath would like to acknowledge the large proportion of active voters locally (32.8%), who voted for UKIP in the European Elections in South East England. Thank you for your support to UKIP, and support for leaving the EU.

Life certainly dictates its own pace. As the demands of busy schedules pile up, it seems a good night's sleep is the first thing to go. The lack of adequate sleep knows no boundaries. Young people suffer from the same decline of proper sleeping habits as often as their parents. And in an effort to compensate for lost time, the loss of sleep carries its own consequences. Sleep is essential not only to getting through daily life, but also improving the quality of it. Here are 3 reasons why a good night's sleep is worth your time.

I got some corny kegs from homebrewing.org. I took off the poppet valves to clean them. I believe most of the nylon washers in there are broken. The kegs arrived sealed, but are the broken washers going to cause leaks? I didn't see where I could procure new ones.
Anyone know?
Many online homebrew shops sell them.http://www.chicompany.net/index.php?...eyword=poppets
I just picked up some used cornies from Craig's List and replaced all the gaskets. All the gaskets for two kegs cost like $5 I think. It only took about 5 minutes to disassemble the kegs, install the new gaskets, and then reassemble everything.
Contact homebrewing.org, if they can't send you some they should replace the kegs with ones that don't have that issue.
I thought you meant the plasticy part on the poppet itself, and I was implying you should replace the whole thing. I see what you are talking about now. I would agree with the above post.

Left Handed FYOS

Posted 20 February 2013 - 11:25 AM
DD2 has been at school for 3 weeks. I talked with her teacher today about writing, letter recognition, reading and the fact the Eloise is left handed.
I have bought her scissors, pencil grips, pencil & ruler for left handed people but am wondering if there is anything else I can be doing for her?
She often writes letters perfectly backward and the teacher did say that she has tried to demonstrate as a left hander, but obviously this is not natural for her.
It would appear that the teacher is not very experienced dealing with left handers - I want to help Eloise as much as I can so that she feels confident in what she is doing.
Any suggestions from other left handers or mothers of - including whether I should just be leaving her alone to naturally work it out (if this is what happens?)

Left handed writing skills
Posted 20 February 2013 - 11:33 AM
One of mine who is a LH had issues with letter formation and writing as the way they are shown does not gel with my lefty. I had no clue so at age 6 I took them to see an OT who seemed to sort it out (once a week for half a year). I have no idea what they did to fix the situation but they could then write without issue and I have not noted any problems since. I do note that some letter formation seems odd when they write but it obviously works for them so I am not going to interfere.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 11:59 AM
I'm left-handed. I'm an infants/primary teacher, specialising in K-2 and early learning support (learning difficulties and disabilities). I'm assuming your daughter is in infants? I wouldn't start worrying about the reversal of letters until she's in Year 2. By mid-Year 2 she should be getting her letters and numbers spot on. But if she's in Kinder/Prep or Year 1, it's normal (and not just for a left-hander) and I wouldn't criticise the teacher. There are plenty of kids in Kinder and early Year 1 who aren't left handed who reverse letters/numbers or confuse similar letters (eg b and d).
Things you can do:
* You can practise the letters at home on a mini white board
* Make fun games when you're out and about - "what's that letter? trace it with your finger! draw it in the air!"
* You can also print off from the internet or buy books with letter formation (handwriting) practise. They will do this in class as well, but a good sheet or book would have an outlined letter that they should follow (draw inside IYKWIM), with arrows that show the direction (eg a capital D you start at the top of the straight part then pick up your pencil and go back to the top and go downwards for the curve).
* Alternatively, you can ask the teacher which letter they will do in handwriting each week and for a copy of their handwriting sheet with her homework so you are reinforcing what she's learning, not confusing her with different letters to school. This would be my preference if you're going to do practise at home.
Try to work with the teacher, don't put pressure on your daughter and if she's had enough of practise, leave it - don't push it. Letter recognition and formation "falls into place" for most children by the end of Year 1. Remember that in Europe, most children haven't even started school by that age.
I also think, scissors aside, you really don't need to buy special left handed tools. She will adapt to the right handed world and that adaption will be to her advantage. There are many things I can do that right handed people can't because I've had to adapt (I can use scissors and knives in both hands, do different things with each hand concurrently, use racquets and bats with either hand or kick equally well with both feet. Think of Australian cricketer David Warner!).

Sorry, I am in no way being mean but I just can't get the image of Ned Flanders Left handed Emporium out of my head now. I'm just imagining you shopping there and keep giggling.
Apart from scissors I did not buy anything special for my lefty. When they awere a little older (6/7yo) we set up a computer mouse as left handed for them but they did not like it and wanted it to go back to the regular right handed mode and they have been happy using it like that ever since so apart from scissors they have adapted to everything else mainly by choice - I think they feel it's easier to 'fit in'. The only issue they really had was writing on the whiteboard at school when younger, as blackboards are no longer used, they would write then their arm would rub out what they had written as they went along. However once they got older and taller that issue disappeared so ended up being a non problem.

There are quite a few left handlers along with my son in his class. The teacher has pencil tips and scissors there. Other than that they do everything fine. Like a pp has said letter reversal is still normal for this age and not just for left handers.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 12:23 PM
I didn't buy any extras, just let his teacher know he was left handed and needed to be put in a seat where he would not be bumping constantly with a righty.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 12:43 PM
I never bought anything for my lefty either (now in year 3) and I've seen letter reversal in both my kids in kinder- both lefty and righty. I would recommend scissors however but never bothered with the rest. The only thing you might want to be aware of is that most handwriting books are written for right handlers with the examples on the left (which a lefty hand see because there hand is in the way). The best books have the examples above but if your child's school isn't using one like this you could suggest that the teacher write an example letter on the far right where she can see it. That said, I think my lefty is a good speller because he can't easily cheat at "look, say, cover, write, check" which is the way they seem to do speeding from year 1 on :-). It's a right handed world out there but it is common for lefties to use both hands for different tasks and sometimes even favour their right for/ right hand for certain tasks!

I have 2 left handed kids, and haven't bought them any special supplies.
I just have to look away when they write as it looks so awkward!
I also have to remember not to comment negatively to their teachers - as surprisingly they've had a few left handed teachers!
Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:29 PM
Great - thank you. The stuff I bought came as a school pack when looking for scissors, but I have seen today that it has a great template mat with slanted lines to use as a template so she can see her writing so she can use that at home.
I will let her be and just keep the observation stuff going when at home and let the teacher guide whether more assistance is required.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 02:42 PM
When you are showing her how to do stuff ( e.g. tie shoelaces) sit opposite her. My left hander found it easier to see when he sat opposite.

My mum did this with me - except we are the other way around, I was the only right-handed person in a house full of lefties!

My daughter is a leftie and also in FYOS
She writes most letters correctly now, but when tired she does do some backwards (lower case b and d mostly)
When she was learning these letters, most of them were backwards. This is normal in both right and left handed children.
I found the Eggy alphabet app (ipad/iphone) has been useful in reiterating the correct way - it numbers where you start and finish each letter.

I am left handed, as is DS, neither of us have had any issue with letter formation, but both of our pencil grips are terrible, even by left handed standards. Just make sure she is holding the pencil correctly and keeping her hand on the table, but below the line or her hand will tire very quickly. Lefties have a habit of getting their hands into all sorts of awkward positions in order to see what they're writing and not smudge the writing.
Oh, when cutting with scissors, make sure she turns the paper and not her hand, another bad lefty trait.
If you're concerned at all, an OT can definitely help with this sort of stuff.
eta: my lefty has started doing things right handed because everyone in his class does. This is obviously not a good habit to get into with a true lefty (as my son is), so we've had to make sure he actually uses his dominant hand. Something to keep an eye out for.
How do you define a true lefty? My daughter is clearly left handed but taught herself to use a right handed mouse and scissors (because everyone else was). She has always preferred her left since she could grab things. She also chooses to throw with her right arm at athletics...... She is just as capable on her left though.
I got her left handed scissors without realizing she had switched to her right - she said it was just to hard to use the right handed scissors in her left hand.
Posted 20 February 2013 - 07:47 PM
Thanks. Her pop is ambidextrous so makes sense!
I have watched her write and it's so awkward and must surely hurt her wrist!
Posted 20 February 2013 - 07:57 PM
Sorry to hijack but i have a question for other lefties - do you own left handed scissors? I just use whatever the supermarket has and I use my left hand with them. I have never really considered the different between left/right handed ones.
I am just curious

I'm a Lefty, as is DD - FYOS for her.
I remember having a bit of trouble learning to write some letters etc, but it was because of how it was being explained. Once I understood what the teacher was saying, it was a lot easier. I did have a bit of trouble with my pinky finger smudging the ink, but soon worked out how to get around that (we didn't start using pens until prob Y3 or so).
I also remember having to sit on the Left at the desk, so our elbows didn't bang!!
DD has Lefty scissors, prefers to be Left dominant for sport, can do a few things with her Right though.
I hadn't even thought to mention to her teacher about the Lefty thing!

I never realised that I do this!! I am a lefty and I still get confused as to which Gand I throw,catch and use a sporting implement in. When I played tennis as a child I couldn't grasp the concept of backhand so I just used to switch hands! Really frustrated the coach!
I still do this when playing tennis now.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 08:33 AM
We haven't done anything special with our lefty. Didn't even occur to us to advise his teacher.
He has quite neat writing so far. He does write some letters backwards and start the letter from the wrong direction. DH has spent time wi I'm to address this. DH is also a lefty so it helps he knows what he went through too and how to correct it. DS has no issues with scissors or cutting. We don't own LH scissors. He kicks and throws right handed. It just happens more naturally for him.
Interestingly DH irons and uses a mouse RH as well as batting in cricket, playing golf.
Posted 21 February 2013 - 08:37 AM
Do you know what? I don't think I've even told the teacher that my daughter's left handed. She's been doing fine these last few weeks. I did think about buying scissors (as we have some at home) but then I forgot. I'll have to ask her when I see her next whether there is anything I should be doing to make their lives easier.
I have assumed that there will probably be more than one left hander in the class and I also make the assumption that it's not like the old days and they'll happily work with the child to make sure they're not disadvantaged by it.
Posted 22 February 2013 - 03:35 PM
DD2 herself mentioned the scissors sitting in the classroom on the second day of school. The teacher then asked if she was left handed and offered to get her some scissors. DD2 is the only left handed child in the class. She also plays tennis left handed and finds it much easier when I switch the mouse for her during computer usage.
At school we have stuck a letter formation template for lefties on her desk and she has a template with slanted lines that you place blank paper over, when she uses it as a guide the paper is on a slant meaning that she can see what she has written but is still writing on a straight line (if that makes sense). I will leave it at that for now. If the teacher raises that there are any issues, we will deal with them as we go along.
Thanks to everyone that responded
Posted 22 February 2013 - 06:05 PM
True left-handed scissors are engineered with the blades reversed so the left-handed blade is on top. With the left blade on top, lefties can see what they are cutting, and the motion of the scissors is natural. While many older lefties have adapted, and can use right-handed scissors for most things, even they can cut far more accurately with left-handed scissors.
DS is a lefty. I bought him left handed scissors after reading that, and they are quite right - using scissors in the wrong hand means you can't cut accurately along a line, because you can't actually see the line you are cutting along. A bit hard to explain, but really obvious once you have the scissors in your hand.
Scissors which claim to be ambidextrous, to work for both left and right-handed people, are not truly left-handed - and will not function well for left-handed users.
I think this is what lots of the left handed scissors you can readily buy are. Try using them in your left hand to cut out a shape that you have drawn and see if you can see the line you are cutting along.
