🌿 Lush green foliage • 🎨 Spectacularly cut fronds • ☀️ Partial shade • 💧 Moderate watering • 💨 Air-purifying plant • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Aglaomorpha Coronans, also called Epiphytic Fern or Rabbit’s Foot Fern, is a spectacular and graphic tropical fern, known for its shiny green deeply cut fronds that create a lush and sculptural visual effect. This fascinating epiphytic fern features creeping rhizomes covered with golden scales that resemble rabbit’s feet, adding a unique tactile and visual dimension to your urban jungle.
Native to the humid tropical forests of Southeast Asia, Aglaomorpha naturally grows as an epiphytic plant on tree trunks in shaded understories where it develops its characteristic lush fronds. Available in several sizes, it perfectly adapts to all spaces in your urban jungle, from the living room to the bathroom and office. As a bonus, Aglaomorpha is an air-purifying plant that cleans the air and brings a spectacular touch of exoticism.
