Platyelasma Densum

Hairy ghost fern, scientifically known as Platyelasma densum, is a rare and enchanting member of the Polypodiaceae family. This delicate fern is native to the tropical regions of Southeast Asia, where it thrives in humid, shaded environments. Its unique appearance, characterized by fuzzy, velvety fronds, gives it its hauntingly ghostly common name. Despite its fragile look, the plant is surprisingly resilient and adaptable to certain indoor conditions. It is often sought after by plant enthusiasts for its unusual beauty and ease of care.
