Hanging fern

Hanging fern is a family of epiphytic and terrestrial ferns featuring distinctive feathery fronds that thrive in humid, shaded environments. Their creeping rhizomes are covered in golden-brown scales, supporting fronds that vary in length, contributing to their lush, dense appearance. These plants primarily prosper in tropical and subtropical regions, leveraging their adaptability to grow both on tree trunks and forest floors, benefiting from high moisture and indirect light.
