Origin
This fern is naturally found in the tropical rainforests of Central and South America, where it grows high in the trees as an epiphyte. That means it doesn’t root in soil, but lives on branches, drawing moisture and nutrients from the air and rain. Because of this background, it loves humidity and a sheltered, bright spot indoors.
Care tips:
- Light: Place the plant in a bright spot, out of direct sunlight. Too much sun can cause the leaves to fade or dry out.
- Water: Keep the soil slightly moist, but never let the roots sit in water. It’s better to water small amounts more often than to overwater all at once.
- Humidity: Since it naturally grows in humid environments, it appreciates an occasional misting – especially during the drier winter months.
- Temperature: Room temperature is perfect. Avoid drafts and cold spots.
- Feeding: During the growing season (spring and summer), you can give it a little houseplant fertilizer from time to time, but don't overdo it.
