How to Grow and Care for Anemia fern

Mexican fern (Anemia mexicana) is an attractive plant that is more tolerant of sunlight than most and its affinity for rocky soils makes it a good plant to grow in a rock garden. In the wild, this plant is found in dry and rocky limestone habitats. It is named the "Mexican fern" as it is found in nearly all parts of Mexico.

Scented fern is a fern distinguished by its triangular, deeply divided fronds that lend a fine texture to its appearance. This species typically thrives in the dappled shade of its native forest floor, where moist, well-drained soil supports its delicate growth. The intricate foliage of scented fern is indicative of its preference for humid environments where it can absorb ample moisture from its surroundings.

Anemia nudiuscula is characterized by a delicate frond structure, with its most striking feature being the bare, almost naked look of its stipe and rachis. Its habitat in shady, humid areas contributes to the fern's thin, membranous leaves which are adept at capturing the limited light. Anemia nudiuscula's resilience in these serene understories is a tribute to its evolutionary adaptability.
