Pyrrosia christii is a delightful Epiphytic fern native to Borneo, frequently chosen for terrariums due to its textured, eye-catching foliage and modest growth habit. Its fronds, which can extend up to approximately 7–8 inches including their stems, showcase light‑green blades accentuated by dark green diagonal veins and often feature fine brown hairs along the margins, lending them a tactile, slightly fuzzy appearance. Although growth is slow, the plant gradually forms a compact evergreen mound, making it a long‑lasting and visually striking accent piece.

This particular specimen is mounted on a tree fern substrate—about eight inches long—and expertly moss-covered, enhancing both its aesthetic and functional qualities. The bark mount provides excellent drainage and air flow around the rhizome, mimicking its natural Epiphytic habitat while making it perfect for terrariums or mounted displays.

This listing includes the exact specimen shown, photographed in August 2025. The fern’s mature mossy appearance and well‑developed fronds reflect its approximate age of eight to ten months. Please feel free to request more recent photos if you’d like to see how it’s currently looking.

Plant Shipping Tips and Guarantees

First, if you are willing to make the effort to follow my suggestions for receiving your plants in good condition, I’ll generally replace plants that arrive dead, although I’ll expect you to pay shipping for the replacement order.  The costs of replacement shipping are generally not covered in our guarantees. Our remedy for most live arrival issues is replacement of the product.

Second, unlike fruit flies, which I generally ship regardless of my concerns, I assume you will want me to hold your plant order until I feel there is a reasonable chance for the order to arrive safely.  I will be in touch by email to discuss this.  When conditions are moderate, I’ll ship plant orders immediately. During the winter, I will check the weather at your location as well as nationally, over the expected path that your shipment will take.  We will use heat packs as needed, with no additional costs. In the event that we think additional steps need to be taken to assure safe delivery, we will be in touch.  I do recommend that if the weather is questionable on your end, either too cold, below mid thirties at night, or too hot, above 85 during the day, you should have your package held for pickup.  No replacements will be made if you haven’t taken this step.
