Image 1: Emerse Trichomanes cf. malabaricum.
General Information and Cultivation3: A miniature, very slow growing prostrate epiphytic filmy fern, relatively easy to cultivate in both emerse and submerse conditions. Transitioning submerse grown plants to emerse culture is somewhat difficult and slow. Attach to wood and rocks in the aquarium or terrarium (to give a moss-like effect). Terrarium grown plants also do well in a free draining substrate that is kept reasonably wet. Do not bury the rhizome or it may rot. Culturing Trichomanes cf. malabaricum in a closed terrarium with frequent spraying of water (at least once per day) will help to keep the plant looking good.
Ease of Care: Medium
Plant Size/Portion Size:
Emerse grown plant: A well rooted clump removed from the mother plant 30mm - 40mm in diameter.

Plants can alter their appearance due to seasonal influence, or in response to different environmental conditions or stage of maturity. This phenomenon is known as phenotypic plasticity, and it is especially evident in Aquatic/Semiaquatic plants. Whilst we endeavour to portray a plant accurately, the plant you receive may have been growing under different conditions or be at a different stage of maturity to the one in the image(s) provided.
