Green spleenwort is a delicate, small fern native to rocky alpine and subalpine crevices, best suited to cool, humid, shaded conditions with consistently moist, well-drained soil. Indoors, place it in a bright, indirect light location and mist frequently or set on a pebble tray to maintain adequate humidity. It is an excellent choice for terrariums, shaded rock gardens, or cool conservatories where it can display its distinctive bright-green fronds.
