This is based on my years of experience of care and cultivating these Tassel Ferns - the Huperzia species.
The ones that I currently care for: 
Huperzia phlegmaria
Huperzia nummularifolia
Huperzia squarrosa 
Huperzia carinata
And the one from the nursery: Huperzia goebellii
Here - I share the details: 
MEDIUM: 
I use Coconut chuck - chips which I had cut and placed them around the root ball.
WATERING: 
Once a Day - Just keeping them lightly moist but not over-watered as it can cause crown rot.
The Medium must be fast draining by the next day.
LIGHT: 
To be placed in an indirect shaded area. 
Too direct Sun can burn the foliage - Too shaded can cause plant stagnation and rot.
FERTILIZER: 
I use Osmocote as I find it is the best solution - other fertilizers tend to burn the plant.
PLACEMENT: 
Airy and good airy movement is good for the plant.
Huperzia is a sensitive plant and therefore good care is required. 
 Once it is established it is fairly easy to maintain in a long duration of time.
