Lindsaea borneensis

Lindsaea borneensis is a rare and visually striking epiphytic fern native to the humid rainforests of Borneo, Malaysia, and Sumatra. Belonging to the Lindsaeaceae family, this species is known for its delicate, lace-like fronds and is well-suited for cultivation in terrariums.

Features:

• Native Range: Endemic to Borneo, Malaysia, and Sumatra.

• Habitat: Primarily epiphytic, growing on trees in humid, shaded environments.

• Fronds: Delicate, finely divided, and lace-like in appearance.

• Size: Typically small, making it ideal for cultivation in terrariums.

Care Tips:

• Light: Prefers low to moderate indirect light; avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn.

• Humidity: Requires high humidity levels, ideally above 70%.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm environments; temperatures between 20°C and 30°C (68°F–86°F) are ideal.

• Watering: Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Use distilled or rainwater to prevent mineral buildup.

• Substrate: Best grown mounted on wood or rock, mimicking its natural epiphytic habitat.
