Asplenium sp Pincho

Asplenium sp Pincho (Ecuador)

Asplenium sp Pincho is a small delicate fern that thrives in moist, shaded environments.

Asplenium is a genus of about 700 species of ferns, commenly known as spleenworts. Found worldwide from tropical rain forests to rocky stone walls, these plants feature distinctive linear spore clusters (sori) and grow as ground plants, rock-climbing lithophytes, or tree-dwelling epiphytes

This is a very small species that is a perfect terrarium candidate as it can handle a relatively wide range of humidity and grows well in most mediums or epifitically.

Typically small and compact, growing in dense mats or clusters.
