Miding Fern
Description
Stenochlaena palustris, commonly known as the climbing fern or bird's nest fern, is an epiphytic fern native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands. This fern has long, creeping stems that can climb on trees and other structures, hence its common name. The fronds have a leathery texture and are typically dark green, creating a visually appealing display. The plant prefers a humid environment, mimicking its natural habitat. This fern thrives in dappled shade and requires consistent moisture, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor cultivation in the right climate. These plants are easy to grow, if you can recreate their ideal environment.
