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.

Which indoor fern to choose?
Our catalog offers several ferns with very distinct characters:
- Aglaomorpha coronans (this plant) — deeply cut fronds, decorative hairy rhizomes, H45 cm size. The most original and graphic.
- Asplenium Osaka — slightly wavy rosette fronds, glossy green, H40 cm. The most elegant and understated.
- Asplenium Campio — very wavy fronds, H50 cm. The most textured.
- Asplenium Crispy Wave — ultra-crisped fronds, miniature H25 cm size. The most compact.
- Asplenium Antiquum — classic smooth and shiny fronds. The most understated.
Aglaomorpha stands out from all other ferns by its visible hairy rhizomes — its most fascinating and decorative feature.
Exposure & placement
- Ideal exposure: bright indirect light to partial shade.
- Tolerates: low light.
- Avoid: direct sunlight that burns delicate fronds.
- Temperature: 18–25 °C, without sudden changes.
- Humidity : 60-70% recommended — bright bathrooms are ideal.
- Substrate : light, airy, and very draining — epiphyte mix with bark.
Like all epiphytic ferns, it appreciates high ambient humidity — a bright bathroom suits it perfectly. Check our light and humidity guide to find the right spot.
Watering & maintenance
- Watering : moderate — let the substrate surface dry slightly between waterings.
- Frequency : about once a week in spring-summer, reduced in winter.
- Drainage : pot with drainage holes and very draining substrate — essential.
- Rhizomes : never cover them — they must remain visible on the surface to breathe.
- Humidity : mist the foliage regularly.
- Fertilizer : liquid green plant fertilizer diluted by half, once a month in spring-summer.
Never cover the hairy rhizomes — this is the golden rule of Aglaomorpha. Check our complete watering guide to adjust the frequency.
Decor ideas & plant pairings
Its 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 strong contrast with the shiny green fronds — a coherent and elegant set with no extra purchase needed.
- In a jungle composition : 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 cut fronds blend well in all contemporary interiors with organic materials.
Its new fronds emerge curled from the heart of the plant — place it in a well-visible spot to enjoy this fascinating plant display. Find other air-purifying plants in our air-purifying selection.
Verdeia tips
- Never cover the rhizomes — they must remain visible on the substrate surface. They are storage and breathing organs — burying them causes rot.
- High humidity essential — mist regularly or place a humidifier nearby. Too dry air causes brown and brittle fronds.
- Repot every 2-3 years — in a light substrate for epiphytes with bark. Make sure the rhizomes remain on the surface after repotting. See our repotting guide for proper procedure.

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?
Shipping is done within 48 business hours, with tracked delivery within 2 to 5 business days. Delivery costs €5.60 — free for orders over €50. You will receive a tracking link as soon as the package is shipped.
What to do upon receiving my plant?
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 to 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?
