Pyrrosia eberhardtii

A felt-leaved creeping fern of southern China, Hainan, Vietnam and Thailand that grows on tree trunks and rocks in hill and montane forest. Like other Pyrrosia it handles drier spells than most ferns, so mount it or grow it in a very open mix and let it dry slightly between waterings.

Where it grows wild

Pyrrosia species are mostly epiphytes on trees or rocks; this one is recorded in evergreen hill and montane forest. Species-level habitat detail is thin, so this follows the genus.

Recorded from 270 to 1900 m, median about 1500 m, so most plants grow in cool submontane forest.
