6" Pot Korean Rock Fern

Common Name: Korean Rock Fern, Tsu-sima Holly Fern 

Scientific Name: Polystichum tsus-simense

-Care Recommendations By The Dude-

Best for These Animals: Small and moderate-sized reptiles and amphibians from tropical and temperate climates.  Can also withstand the weight/wear-and-tear associated with certain larger animals, like large frogs or mature corn snakes.

Bio Dude Substrates: TerraFlora, TerraFauna, TerraFirma

Soil Depth: All soil depths with proper drainage

Lighting: Low to medium

Humidity & Misting: 60%-100%, with higher humidity levels suggested for optimal growth.

Mature Plant Size & Root System: These easy-to-grow, durable ferns will form a tight clump of green fronds that can max out at 18-20", though they can be selectively pruned. It spreads via short basal shoots that will keep it relatively compact as it ages.

Temperature Tolerance & Placement in the Terrarium: Too high temperatures/low humidity may cause leaves to brown. Too high light intensity will also cause fronds to crisp!  Best used as a front (low) groundcover, underplanting, or mounted (only in high humidity conditions).  

Edible & Side Effects if Ingested: Non-Toxic if consumed, though these are typically used for ornamental, not edible, purposes.

Pot Size & Packaging: A single 6" potted fern is shipped in the pot, wrapped in paper.
