Hypodematium requires a consistently humid environment and shaded or indirect light for optimal growth. It needs well-draining, slightly acidic soil and regular misting to prevent the foliage from drying out. Be mindful of temperature changes and protect hypodematium from cold drafts as it is sensitive to temperature fluctuations.

Bigfoot fern is a rare and strangely erratic species. It got the odd name "Bigfoot fern" thanks to only a single plant being found in many of its regions, giving it a near-mythical status similar to that of the legend of Bigfoot. It seems to enjoy limestone crevices and brick walls, from the few times it has been seen.
Hypodematium glanduloso-pilosum is a robust fern with broad, pinnate leaves that bear a distinctive fuzziness due to glandular hairs. Native to shaded, woodland areas, its unique leaf texture helps deter herbivores and aids in the collection of dew, essential for its hydration. The presence of glands suggests a role in defense, possibly by emitting deterrent chemicals.
