Description: ***I'm salvaging these beautiful, magic ferns from an 80 ft Live Oak that sadly fell during Hurricane Milton!** The ways to use these are endless: Terrarium ecosystemFairy Gardens in Reptile or amphibian enclosuresoutdoors in the gardenmounted to a tree This is a listing for The 'Resurrection Fern' is another one of nature's gifts! It is a beautiful bright green and loves shady, humid environments but when it dries out, it shrivels up to a grayish brown and actually looks like a clump of leaves. When it is exposed to water again, it will “come back to life” and look green and healthy. The plant gets its name from this supposed “resurrection,” but it never actually dies during the processis an epiphyte, which means it grows on top of other plants or structures and reproduces by spores, not seeds. The spores are housed in structures called sori on the underside of fronds. Although resurrection ferns grow on top of other plants, they do not steal nutrients or water from their host plant.This remarkable plant can lose about 75 percent of its water content during a typical dry period and possibly up to 97 percent in an extreme drought. During this time,. By contrast, most other plants can lose only 10 percent of their water content before they die. Fronds are typically 4 to 12 inches (10 to 30 centimeters) in length.
