Pyrrosia Similis (Ex Fern bengkayang)

Pyrrosia similis is a rare epiphytic fern that brings a natural, rainforest look to mounts, driftwood, and hanging displays. Pyrrosia belongs to the Polypodiaceae family and grows naturally on tree trunks, branches, and rocks in tropical and subtropical regions. Collectors love Pyrrosia similis for its sturdy, leathery fronds and creeping rhizome, which spreads slowly across the surface it grows on. It is a tough fern that is more forgiving than many delicate species, so it suits beginners and experienced collectors alike.

Pyrrosia Similis Care Guide

Pyrrosia similis is easy to enjoy when you follow a few basics:

• Light: Provide bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun is fine, but avoid harsh afternoon sun that can scorch the fronds.
• Water: Water when the mix or mount feels slightly dry. Pyrrosia stores some water in its leaves and rhizome, so it tolerates short dry spells better than most ferns.
• Growing medium: Use an airy mix of fine bark, perlite, and a little sphagnum moss, or mount it on cork, wood, or a tree-fern plaque.
• Humidity and temperature: Prefers moderate to high humidity and warm temperatures of about 18–30°C (64–86°F). Good airflow helps prevent rot.
• Fertilizer: Feed lightly with a balanced liquid fertilizer at quarter strength once a month during active growth.
