Microlepia Distans

Cushion fern, scientifically known as Microlepia distans, is a unique and compact fern species native to Southeast Asia. It forms dense, low-growing mats that resemble cushions, hence its common name. This plant thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often found in forest undergrowth. Its delicate fronds and intricate structure make it a popular choice for indoor gardening. Despite its small size, the cushion fern plays an important ecological role in its native habitat.
