Native to: Ecuador
Type: Fern
Asplenium sp. ‘Thread Leaf’ is a wonderful miniature fern that thrives in vivarium conditions. The bright green fronds are thin and reach 4-5″ long. Though the fronds may appear delicate and easy to melt away, this little fern is very eager to root into sphagnum moss. It seems happy to stay constantly moist and spreads by rhizomes, forming a new clump. Rhizomes seem to spread more readily in a moist substrate like sphagnum moss; when potted, a new frond often emerges from a hole in the bottom of the pot. We’ve still had great success mounting it on a background wall or on ledges of cork bark, and rhizomes will spread over the cork as long as it stays moist. Over time Asplenium sp. ‘Thread Leaf’ will form an eye-catching feathery colony that adds to the variety and character of your tropical vivarium.
