Nursery contributed plant descriptions

From the mountains of Borneo comes this epiphytic Tongue Fern, evergreen with leathery fronds marked with diagonal veins in slowly expanding clumps 6-8” tall and 12-18” wide. This genus needs very well drained soil that is moist but not wet (we mix in plenty of chunks of bark/wood…but they also excel in hanging moss baskets) and bright shade. Also, good indoors and as a terrarium inhabitant.
