Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between an epiphytic fern and a regular fern? An epiphytic fern naturally grows on supports — tree trunks, rocks — without being parasitic. It draws its nutrients from the air and ambient humidity rather than the soil. Indoors, it requires a very well-draining and airy substrate, similar to orchid substrate.
Is an epiphytic fern safe for pets? Yes, Aglaomorpha coronans is completely non-toxic to cats and dogs — a valuable advantage for homes with pets.

🌿 Spectacular deeply cut fronds • 🦎 Decorative golden-brown hairy rhizomes • 🧺 Black Selin pot included • ☀️ Bright indirect light • 💧 Moderate watering • 🌬️ Air-purifying • 🐾 Non-toxic
The Aglaomorpha coronans, or epiphytic fern with rhizomes, is a tropical fern native to the humid forests of Southeast Asia. Its deeply cut, bright green fronds and golden-brown hairy rhizomes that creep across the surface of the substrate make it doubly decorative — sculptural foliage above, fascinating organic texture below. Delivered in its included black Selin pot (Ø18 x H16 cm). H45 cm | Pot Ø17 cm.
Air-purifying, non-toxic. A reliable choice for an indoor jungle.
Which indoor fern should you choose?
Our catalog offers several ferns with very distinct characteristics:
- Aglaomorpha coronans (this plant) — deeply cut fronds, decorative hairy rhizomes, H45 cm size. The most original and graphic.
- Asplenium Osaka — slightly wavy, bright green rosette-shaped fronds, H40 cm. The most elegant and understated.
- Asplenium Campio — very wavy fronds, H50 cm. The most textured.
- Asplenium Crispy Wave — ultra-crinkled fronds, miniature H25 cm size. The most compact.
- Asplenium Antiquum — classic smooth, glossy fronds. The most understated.
Aglaomorpha stands out from all other ferns thanks to its visible hairy rhizomes — its most fascinating and decorative feature.
Light & placement
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade.
- Tolerates: low light.
- Avoid: direct sun, which can scorch the delicate fronds.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden changes.
- Humidity: 60-70% recommended — bright bathrooms are ideal.
- Substrate: light, airy, and very well-draining — a mix for epiphytes with bark.
Like all epiphytic ferns, it appreciates high ambient humidity — a bright bathroom is perfect for it. Its ideal placement depends on the balance between light and humidity.
Watering & care
- Watering: moderate — let the surface of the substrate dry slightly between waterings.
- Frequency: approximately once a week in spring and summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage: pot with drainage holes and a very well-draining substrate — essential.
- Rhizomes: never cover them — they must remain visible at the surface to breathe.
- Humidity: mist the foliage regularly.
- Fertilizer: liquid fertilizer for green plants, diluted by half, once a month in spring and summer.
Never cover the hairy rhizomes — this is the golden rule for Aglaomorpha. The frequency of watering should be adapted to the season.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its deeply cut fronds and hairy rhizomes make it a conversation plant — everyone notices it and wants to know what it is.
- Ready to display: the included black Selin pot creates a striking contrast with the fronds' glossy green — a cohesive and elegant ensemble with no additional purchase.
- Urban jungle arrangement: pair it with a Calathea Medallion or a Philodendron Scandens Brasil for a tropical arrangement with highly contrasting foliage.
- Style: tropical, graphic, urban jungle — its deeply cut fronds complement contemporary interiors with organic materials.
Its new fronds emerge tightly coiled from the heart of the plant — place it somewhere highly visible to enjoy this fascinating botanical spectacle. Pair it with other air-purifying plants.
Verdeia tips
- Never cover the rhizomes — they must remain visible on the surface of the substrate. They are storage and respiratory organs — burying them causes them to rot.
- High humidity is essential — mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Air that is too dry causes brown, brittle fronds.
- Repot every 2-3 years — in a light epiphyte substrate with bark. Make sure the rhizomes stay on the surface after repotting. A single repotting in spring is enough, into a pot only slightly larger.

FAQ – Everything to know before adopting your Verdeia plant
How are my plants prepared before shipping?
All our plants are selected from our European partner nurseries. Before shipping, they are watered, cleaned, and protected with breathable, secure packaging. Each package is designed to ensure your plant arrives in perfect health, without any transport-related stress.
Will the plant look exactly like the photo?
The photos accurately represent the variety and the stated size. Since each plant is unique, slight differences in shape, foliage, or color may occur — and that’s part of their charm.
What are the delivery times and conditions?
Orders ship within 48 working hours, with tracked delivery in 2 to 5 working days via DPD. Shipping costs and the free-shipping threshold depend on your country — see our delivery page. You receive a tracking link as soon as your parcel leaves.
What should I do when my plant arrives?
Open your package as soon as you receive it and carefully remove the plant from its packaging. Let it acclimate for 24 hours in its new environment before watering. If it has been slightly stressed during transport, it will recover its shape after one or two days in the light.
What should I do if my plant arrives damaged?
Contact us within 48 hours with a photo of the issue. Our team will assess the situation and offer you the best solution: replacement, partial refund, or recovery advice.
Can I return a plant?
