Microgramma vacciniifolia

Mini White-Footed Tropical Fern

Microgramma vacciniifolia is a miniature species of epiphytic fern, featuring delicate leaves approximately ½ inch in width and about 1 inch in length. These leaves are a vibrant bright green, accented by darker green venation, which creates a striking contrast against the rhizomes. The rhizomes themselves are beautifully covered in fine, white pubescence, adding to the plant's unique texture and visual appeal. For optimal growth and health, this fern should be mounted or placed in a basket that provides excellent drainage while maintaining consistent moisture. Native to regions such as Brazil, Peru, Colombia, the Caribbean, Paraguay, Argentina, and Bolivia, it thrives in environments with high humidity and warm temperatures, mirroring its natural tropical habitat.
