How to Grow and Care for Umbrella fern

Sticherus truncatus is an extremely interesting-looking fern. It gives the appearance of having long, skeletal fingers! The word truncatus in its name is Latin and means "maimed" and "mutilated", which may have been given in reference to the plant's broken-looking fingers.

Sticherus owhyhensis is a striking fern characterized by its elaborate fronds that gracefully arch and unfurl like a choreographed dance of green. These fronds, set upon slender, wiry stems, enable the plant to reach for light in the dappled shadows of its forest home. Its ability to thrive in the moist, cool understory speaks to sticherus owhyhensis's adaptability and a penchant for environments that echo the primeval world where ferns once reigned.
