Your Kangaroo fern is from Australia originally, from the Canberra region, where the plant grows either on granite rock, or as epiphytes on trees. Epiphyte is the name for the type of plants that grows on other plants without being parasitic, thus without extracting nourishment from its host.
The plant grows best in a sunny spot, but it lives pleasantly in half-shadow as well. It prefers a humid climate.
Microsorum Diversifolium is a tropic plant by nature, but it still grows wonderfully in the European climate.
This fern can withstand high temperatures. It is ideal for your window sill, but it needs protection from the direct light of the sun. And for a sunlit bathroom: the fern would look fantastic. |
