How our relationship with this plant has changed over time.
This fern developed as a specialized groundcover within the shaded layers of tropical rainforests. It occupied niches where humidity remained high and temperatures stayed cool.
Early botanical expeditions began cataloging rare ferns found in tropical regions. Collectors sought these species for private conservatories that could sustain high-humidity climates.
You now find this plant in the collections of hobbyists with access to terrariums or high-humidity greenhouse spaces. It is maintained primarily through careful division.
