Growth habit: This fern is a compact plant that typically grows up to 12 inches (30 cm) in height and spreads about the same width. It forms a dense clump of foliage, making it an ideal choice for hanging baskets or as a tabletop plant.
Care requirements: Kangaroo Ferns thrive in indirect light and prefer a well-draining potting mix. They require regular watering to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. It's important to avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot. These ferns also appreciate occasional misting to increase humidity levels.
Suitable growing conditions: Kangaroo Ferns are native to Australia and New Zealand, where they grow as epiphytes on trees or rocks. They prefer warm and humid environments, making them well-suited for indoor cultivation.
Benefits: Apart from being visually appealing, Kangaroo Ferns are known for their air-purifying qualities. They can help remove toxins from the air and improve indoor air quality.
Remember to periodically check for pests like mealybugs or scale insects and promptly address any issues. Overall, the Kangaroo Fern is a beautiful and relatively low-maintenance houseplant that can add a touch of greenery to any indoor space.
