Pteris Spinosa

Water fern, scientifically known as Pteris spinosa, is a hardy and versatile aquatic plant commonly found in moist environments around the world. It is characterized by its delicate, feathery fronds that resemble the structure of true ferns, though it is not a true fern but a member of the water fern family. This plant thrives in shallow waters, wetlands, and along the edges of ponds, making it a popular choice for natural landscaping and pond ecosystems. Its ability to filter water and provide habitat for small aquatic life makes it an important component of wetland biodiversity. With its elegant appearance and ecological benefits, Pteris spinosa is both a fascinating subject for study and a valuable addition to aquatic gardens.
