Iseilema Membranaceum Var. Trichopus

Trichopus, scientifically known as Iseilema membranaceum var. trichopus, is a rare and delicate fern species native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia. This unique plant is characterized by its slender, creeping rhizomes and its distinctive, delicate fronds that resemble lace. It thrives in humid, shaded environments, often found in dense forests or along stream banks. Due to its rarity and specific habitat requirements, Trichopus is considered a threatened species in the wild. Its ornamental value has led to increased interest in cultivating it, though its care demands a high level of expertise.
