    Identification is easy because of its peculiar pinnatipartite fronds, submarginally anastomosing veins, and the dense, abaxial scale covering.

    How To Grow
    ferns can be grown in a moist terrarium, aquarium, or in small plastic boxes, as long as it is not too hot. These locations allow for better-controlled growth conditions and modifications to allow as much expansion as possible.
    Low light and some added CO2 can kick ferns growth rate to an accelerated new level.

    Watering
    ferns are the type of plant that will require a large quantity of water and high humidity spraying the leaves regularly is advised.

    Adding diversity to an enclosure is key to an aesthetically pleasing enclosure. Try mixing up the look of your vivarium with different flora that can easily co-exist in the same types of environment.
