Care information

Photo 1 is representative of what you will receive; a non-exact but similarly sized plant

Easy fern! This one grows long, pendulous foliage that can hang for 7-12 inches (maybe more, this is just what I have seen). Handles drier conditions, and grows well in moist conditions as well. In the wild they experience a dry season and desiccation.

Ideally you want to mount this horizontally on a surface, as this is how it grows in the wild, not terrestrially as I currently have it.

Plant Details
Airflow
Low — Specifically suited for sealed, stagnant environments. These plants do not require active ventilation or fans to prevent bacterial or fungal "melt."
Family
Pteridaceae
Growth strategy
Epiphyte
Humidity
80–100% — The "Sweet Spot" for most rare tropicals and shinglers. This high-saturation environment is essential for aerial root attachment to hardscape and ensures that delicate foliage maintains its turgidity and sheen.
Lighting
Moderate — Prefers bright, filtered, or indirect light. This is the "sweet spot" for most terrarium species; however, direct sun or high-intensity LEDs will scorch delicate juvenile leaves.
PH
5.5–6.5 — Acidic (Optimal): The “Goldilocks” zone for most tropical terrarium plants, including Marcgravia. This range ensures maximum nutrient availability and mimics the natural decomposition of leaf litter on the rainforest floor.

Size
Medium
Temperature
65–75°F — Ideal for "Cool-Growers" or highland species. These plants prefer the lower end of the tropical spectrum and may show signs of stress or heat-dropping leaves if temperatures consistently exceed 80°F.
Watering substrate
Moist — Substrate should be kept consistently hydrated but never "soggy." This allows for critical oxygen to reach the root zone, preventing hypoxia and rot.
World
New World — Native to the Western Hemisphere: North, Central, and South America plus the Caribbean
