Climbing fern (Lygodiaceae)

Climbing fern

Climbing fern belongs to a family of climbing ferns, characterized by their twining stems and expansive, compound leaves that unroll as they mature—a process akin to the unfurling of a fiddlehead. The plant thrives in moist, shaded environments, allowing it to climb and spread efficiently. Climbing fern’s delicate leaflets have a unique ability to absorb moisture and nutrients, supporting its growth in dense, competitive habitats.
