Aglaomorpha Coronans (Snake Leaf Fern)

Aglaomorpha Coronans – Snake Leaf Ferns are wonderful and very much in fashion. We love this because it conjures up images of the lush rainforest floor (and Dinosaurs!). Aglaomorpha Coronans is in our view the prettiest of all the indoor ferns, with glossy large leaves and classically shaped leaves. These are relatively slow growers so we only sell the large mature form which shows the fern in all its glory. 

If you are looking for houseplants that are easy to care for and you want to bring the tropical rainforest experience to your home, try this glorious fern, glaomorpha coronans is an impressive Epiphytic Fern with glossy, ornately lobed foliage reaching 1-2 meters. 

Very sturdy and reliable, it makes an excellent houseplant because it does well in areas of low humidity.

Aglaomorpha coronans is easy to cultivate in a basket, on a piece of bark or in a pot. Like many ferns, it enjoys a well-drained growing medium plus shade with plenty of light but not direct sunlight. Keep moist but not soggy. When repotting, it is a good idea to add mulch to the original potting compost in the form of composted tree bark. 

Aglaomorpha coronans are tropical fern native to Indonesia where they grow as an epiphyte so these ferns can be mounted if you have the experience on to a wall. They like a warm, humid atmosphere, but nothing too hot.  Think shower room or warm kitchen in a bright spot but away from the direct sun. Think of it hiding on the forest floor!

A beautiful houseplant that would make an ideal gift, get the rainforest experience from a little plant – it might be quite a cheap houseplant but the sense of calm it gives makes you mentally richer!
