Asplenium heliae

Asplenium heliae Lusina is an accepted spleenwort name in GBIF with three subspecies (heliae, lainzii and alberti-nieschalkii), but no georeferenced records or checklist distribution were available. The subspecies authors worked on Iberian and Turkish ferns, which suggests a Mediterranean rock fern, but this is unconfirmed. These conditions are a generic guess for a small Mediterranean crevice spleenwort.

Where it grows wild

No habitat data were available. A crevice-dwelling rock fern, as in most small Mediterranean spleenworts, is assumed.

No elevation data exist.

🔒 Growing it like that

✓ Day and night temperature targets, and the limits it tolerates
✓ Humidity band, and how to hold it
✓ Light as DLI and PPFD for a grow light
✓ Wet and dry seasons, and whether to rest it
✓ Substrate and airflow
✓ A step-by-step setup to grow it like the wild
