Know before you buy
This fern is classified as an intermediate care plant. It requires consistent attention to humidity levels and light, so it is best suited for those who already have some experience maintaining enclosed ecosystems.
Pyrrosia nummularifolia prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sun, as the intense rays can scorch its delicate foliage through terrarium glass.
Because this species thrives in high humidity, it is best kept in an enclosed terrarium where moisture can be trapped. If you notice the leaves drying out, you may need to mist the enclosure or adjust your ventilation.
No, this plant is not considered pet-safe. It is best kept in a secure terrarium that is inaccessible to curious pets.
This fern features a clumping growth habit, meaning it will gradually expand outward from its base. Its medium growth rate makes it a manageable choice for most standard-sized terrariums.
