Narrow strapfern 'Campyloneurum angustifolium'

Campyloneurum angustifolium is an exotic fern, widely distributed throughout Central and South America. It can also be found in the southern tip of North America. At first sight, it closely resembles the shoestring fern, but it is much easier to cultivate. It has shorter and smaller leaves than the Florida strap fern so is easier to position in a relatively small space such as on a windowsill, a side table or in a terrarium.

Campyloneurum angustifolium prefers half shade or full shade and should not be exposed to direct sunlight. It needs to be watered regularly and fed from time to time. It will do well under artificial light. The roots of Campyloneurum angustifolium must be kept moist at all times but it must never be left standing in water.
