Drynaria rigidula

Item description : One young Drynaria rigidula in a 10cm pot, the plant is approximately 10cm in diameter. You receive a plant similar to the pictured one (it’s unnecessary to ask me for a specific plant from the pictures as they only serve as exemple and are not the exact same plants that are for sale, they are all of top quality and I select only the best to be shipped). 

All the ferns I offer were grown by myself from spores or offsets in France, unless stated otherwise. These plants are much easier and healthier than the ones offered imported directly from SE Asia that often go into shock because they were in a very different climate

Habitat and Description : A beautiful fern from South East Asia. It growson trees and makes different types of fronds: the “shields”that have the same function as those found on Platycerium, to trap organic matter for fertilization (like dead leaves) and the fertile fronds that provide both reproduction and photosynthesis. As they have a similar growth pattern as Platycerium, they can be grown in a similar fashin, in pots or on a board.

Care : Easy to grow but prefers acidic water, if your water is too alkaline it’s better to bath your plant in rainwater or distilled water.  The key to success with these epiphytic fern lies in the use of soft water, a sequence of wet/dry soil and temperatures between 20 and 29°C (but they also tolerate warmer and colder temperatures)

Cold hardiness : Purely tropical species.
