Asplenium speluncae, a small epiphytic fern from the Aspleniaceae family and Asplenium genus, is a unique species within the single-leaf group of the Asplenium genus. Its distinguishing feature is the continuous black border along the leaf edges, a rare characteristic among ferns. The leaves form a rosette, adding to its high ornamental value.

This species grows epiphytically on rock walls with shallow roots, which results in slow growth, meaning the leaf size remains relatively unchanged over one or two years. It thrives in habitats without moss, showing a remarkable tolerance to dry conditions. However, prolonged drought can affect the leaf edges, causing yellowing, so maintaining higher humidity is recommended.

Asplenium speluncae is ideal for rainforest terrariums. Like many ferns in the Asplenium genus, it can adapt to submerged conditions, making it a rare addition to aquatic plant collections with its fully black-edged leaves.

  • Light: Indirect, scattered light
