This tropical, large-leaf maidenhair fern is quite impressive sporting much larger than typical segments suspended on wiry black stems. New growth emerges a pinkish color and fades through tones of silvery green before finally maturing to a satin green sheen. Tropical maidenhair ferns are typically found on shady slopes and prefer to stay moist but may be susceptible to rot if over-watered and will perform better with some indirect or filtered light exposure as vigor and color may be reduced in deep shade.
