    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Lovely epiphytic fern from Plant Delights, collected on Mt. Datun in Taiwan where it grows on trees. Rhizomes at the soil surface sprout pretty, glossy, dark green, pointed leaves with undulating margins 4-6” tall. Plants eventually create a small, dense colony of evergreen foliage. Moist, well-drained soil, shade, may be a good houseplant. Nice in containers. Still exploring winter hardiness.
