Notes A leathery-fronded creeping and climbing evergreen rhizomatous fern found in southeastern Australia and through much of New Zealand. It has shiny, firm, green fronds vary in shape and size. It makes an excellent ground cover and can be grown indoors or out as a hanging basket, in a container, or as a potted plant. It is easily propagated from spores and root cuttings (‘pups’). Epiphytic in nature this fern will grow on the trunks of trees in moist areas. Moderate water required.
