Ampelopteris prolifera

Cultivation Details

Prefers a sunny position^[1]. The plant requires permanent moisture; the rhizome is often found growing in water^[1]. The plants are usually sterile. The sori are produced particularly during dry periods. The freely proliferating buds result in effective local dispersal. It has been suggested that the plant spreads along river systems by flood waters breaking off the fronds and then depositing them on banks further downstream^[1].
