Austral Gem Fern
Description Light/Soil/Water Hardiness The Austral Gem Fern (Asplenium dimorphum x difforme) is a fantastic and relatively new Australian hybrid fern prized for its exceptional durability and unique, lush appearance. This medium-sized plant has a mounding growth habit and features uniquely shaped leaves with a waxy, thick coating. This special coating is the key to its resilience, as it prevents excessive water loss and shedding, making it far more adaptable than traditional ferns. This makes it an ideal indoor plant and a great gift for any collection in virtually any climate. It grows relatively flat, making it a wonderful choice for placement on pedestals or in hanging pots where its rich, dark green texture can be appreciated. Like all ferns, the Austral Gem Fern does not produce flowers. It reproduces via spores, which appear as linear patterns (sori) on the undersides of mature fronds. Low to Medium Indirect Light. Prefers filtered or indirect light. Avoid direct, harsh s
