Selliguea

Selliguea is a genus of ferns primarily found clinging to rocks and tree trunks in humid forest environments. These epiphytic and lithophytic plants are characterized by their small, leathery fronds that often present a distinctive glossy appearance. Their resilience in diverse and moisture-rich habitats is enhanced by a robust root system that effectively absorbs nutrients in sparse soil or bark crevices.

Water: Originating from humid environments, selliguea thrives in moisture-rich conditions, preferring consistent soil moisture without waterlogging. Water twice a week and mist regularly to emulate its native habitat and support its high humidity preference, making it ideal for indoor growth.

Propagation: Selliguea can be propagated via spore sowing, division, or tissue culture. Key factors include consistent moisture, well-draining soil, and shaded light. Challenges involve high humidity and stable temperatures. For division, separate rhizomes with roots, plant in moist substrate, and maintain high humidity and indirect light.
