Phymatosorus diversifolius
Overview
Kangaroo fern (Phymatosorus diversifolius) is an evergreen epiphyte native to Australia. It is a vining plant with glossy, light green fronds, that are divided at intervals, giving the fern an attractive, feathery appearance. The new fronds have an purple-brown hue and gradually turn green as they mature. This fern grows best in bright, indirect sunlight and it requires well draining soil and adequate humidity to thrive. When kept properly watered in high humidity environments, Kangaroo ferns can grow over two feet in length.
