Product information "Solanopteris bifrons"
The rhizomes are thin and cord-like. Special short shoots branch off at regular intervals and grow into potato-like hollow outgrowths, which serve as nesting sites for the ants. Because of these "potatoes", Solanopteris species are also known as "potato ferns". The tubers have an opening on the underside. The structure is very reminiscent of the leaves of Dischidia major, which have been transformed into nesting structures.
Native to South America, this ant fern can be found in the lowlands.
The rhizome is covered with short, bristle-like outgrowths and is whitish-grey in colour. The fronds are divided, which gives the plants an extremely attractive appearance.
The domatia of S. bifrons shimmer slightly metallic due to their micro-structures, are olive-green in colour and about the size of a walnut.
