Microgramma piloselloides

Microgramma piloselloides is a compact epiphytic fern with creeping rhizomes and small, neatly arranged fronds that gradually cover bark, mounts, or other textured supports. Its delicate scale and trailing habit bring the layered look of a tropical forest canopy to terrariums and botanical displays.

Care Guide

• Light: Provide bright filtered or indirect light, avoiding harsh midday sun.
• Water: Keep the roots and growing surface lightly and evenly moist, but never stagnant or waterlogged. Avoid prolonged drying while new growth is active.
• Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity with gentle, consistent airflow.
• Temperature: Grow in intermediate to warm conditions and protect from cold drafts or frost.
• Growing medium: Mount on cork, bark, or another textured support with a small amount of moisture-retentive material, or use a shallow container with an airy organic mix.

With filtered light, steady moisture, warmth, humidity, and room for its rhizomes to travel, Microgramma piloselloides can form an attractive living tapestry in a tropical plant collection.
