Rumohra adiantiformis is an evergreen herbaceous fern species growing up to 2’ – 4’ feet depending on the growing conditions.
The dark green-colored, lacy-looking, finely-cut, glossy, and triangular-shaped leaves or fronds give the plant a tropical appearance.
A feature of the leatherleaf fern distinguishing it from most other fern species is it does not have separate reproductive fronds.
Instead, the reproductive clusters, called sori “fruit dots”, are located on the underside of the dark green leaflets.
Since the fern species spreads slowly, it is suitable for growing in small spaces, pots, and hanging baskets as well.
When grown outdoors, make sure to leave 24” – 36” inches of space between each fern.
