Mother spleenwort, also known as Hen and chicks fern, New Zealand common spleenwort
Mother spleenwort is a fern that reaches approximately 2 feet (60 cm) in height and spreads 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm) wide. Its distinguishing arching fronds boast light green leaflets, which are delicately divided multiple times, and contrast with black stems. A key characteristic is its ability to reproduce by dropping plantlets formed on the leaf surfaces. It prefers shady environments and needs ample water, thriving in well-drained, moist, acidic soils. The plant displays a preference for cool conditions, tolerating temperatures down to about 26 °F (-3 °C).
