Resurrection fern

Attach small clumps to the rough bark of live oaks, magnolias, cypress knees, or mossy rocks in partial to full shade; resurrection fern is a fascinating native epiphytic fern that grows without soil, anchoring itself to bark and extracting water and nutrients from rain and air. Its extraordinary survival ability allows it to lose up to 97% of its water content and appear completely dead and shriveled in drought, then revive to lush green within hours of rain — earning its dramatic common name. In its natural habitat the bark surface of mature live oaks is often entirely carpeted with this fern, and in rain events the transformation from brown crisp desiccation to vivid green is remarkable and occurs overnight. Establish by tying moist clumps to rough bark in spring; once attached it will spread slowly across the bark surface over time and requires no further care. Спосіб посадки: Розмноження діленням куща Відстань між рослинами: 6–12 дюймів Висота: 4–8 дюймів
