Asplenium flaccidum
Asplenium flaccidum, commonly known as weeping spleenwort, is an elegant drooping fern native to New Zealand and surrounding islands that thrives in shaded, humid environments. Keep it in bright to moderate indirect light, maintain consistently moist soil using filtered water, and mist fronds regularly to provide the humidity it craves. Avoid cold drafts, direct sunlight, and waterlogged conditions, which can cause root rot and frond damage.
