Hello everyone,
I just received this plant as a gift a few days ago, but I don't know what it is (although I suspect is some kind of moss since I don't see any roots).
Any help identifying, and also how to take care of it ?
Thanks,

I think this is Selaginella. I'm used to thinking of them as a terrarium plant (likes a lot of humidity).
Logee's has had them in their catalog listing forever (since the 80's) and this is their care sheet for them and I've quoted an excerpt of the blurb about watering:

Yours might be "golden club moss" https://www.logees.com/catalogsearch/res ... elaginellahttps://www.logees.com/media/care/pdf/Selaginella.pdf
Keep them evenly moist. When watering, thoroughly saturate the soil until a little water runs out of the bottom of the pot. Do not dry them out or repot them after they have been under drought stress as this can kill or damage them.

May be the one sold around the holidays as "frosty fern." S. krausiana.
