Diplazium tomentosum is a terrestrial fern native to Southeast Asia, particularly found in tropical rainforests. This species is characterized by its distinctive blue-green metallic sheen on the fronds and its auriculate (ear-shaped) pinnae. The rachis and costa are densely covered with short, coarse brown hairs, giving the fern a velvety texture.

Features:

  • Fronds: Oblong to almost triangular, measuring approximately 30 cm long by 12 cm wide.

  • Leaflets: Lance-shaped to oblong, up to 7 cm long by 2 cm wide, with a leathery texture.

  • Sori: Positioned on all veinlets, protected by a firm indusium.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers semi-shade conditions.

  • Watering: Requires moderate watering; keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

  • Humidity: Thrives in high humidity environments, making it ideal for terrariums.

  • Temperature: Best suited for warm climates; avoid exposure to frost.

  • Soil: Grows well in rich, well-draining soils.
