Niphidium crassifolium
Graceful Fern
Description
Niphidium crassifolium, often referred to as the strap fern, is an epiphytic fern known for its unique, strap-shaped fronds. Native to tropical America, this fern features thick, leathery leaves that grow in a rosette-like pattern. The fronds are a deep green color and have a smooth texture. It is adapted to growing on trees or rocks, absorbing nutrients and moisture from the air and environment. This fern thrives in bright, indirect light and requires high humidity. Niphidium crassifolium can be grown in containers or mounted on a board or driftwood. Ensure good air circulation and avoid direct sunlight. Allow the roots to have plenty of space, or mount to avoid rot.
