Description
Hemionitis arifolia, "Heart Fern", is an attractive and unusual dwarf, evergreen fern displaying glossy green, heart-shaped fronds on black stems. . The dwarf growth habit of the Heart Fern makes it a perfect choice for small spaces. This fern is ideal for containers with or without drainage and can happily be planted in an enclosed terrarium. What's more, Hemionitis arifolia is both an epiphyte (growing on trees) as well as a terrestrial plant. Unlike many houseplants which don't like to stay wet, this sweet fern is perfect for that indoor gardener who wants to "over-love" their plants.
