- An extremely pretty fern by any standards. A well grown plant is compact and bushy.
- Epiphytic fern with creeping rhizomes, wiry fronds 3-4 pinnatifid into well spaced segments, with the ultimate leaflets deeply toothed, not deciduous.

Growing tips:

- Does not tolerate very low light. Nor does it like very bright sunlight.
- should be kept steadily moist and warm.
- Can take full sun in high humidity coastal areas.
- Requires regular moisture.
- Grow in compost consisting of two parts each of loam and leaf mould and 1 part rotten farmyard manure.
- Like all tropical ferns this one too requires high humidity and warm temperatures. The potting media should contain high organic matter content and be well drained yet stay moist. This can be achieved by using moss and leaf mould in the potting mix.
