Lecanopteris crustacea (Giant form)

Product information "Lecanopteris crustacea (Giant form)"

Ant fern. Simple species. The rhizomes are densely covered with scales. Very interesting and rare in collections. With their strangely shaped hollow rhizomes they look very bizarre! Lecanopteris species are widespread throughout Indonesia and Malaysia. They form hollow rhizomes that are inhabited by ants in the wild. In cultivation, however, they grow easily without ants.

This form is characterised by the striking golden scales, the size and the much stockier growth compared to the normal form. While the finger-shaped rhizome sections of the normal form break off very easily, even forming predetermined breaking points, this form is much more stable
and highly recommended!
