Leatherleaf Fern (Rumohra adiantiformis)

Leatherleaf Fern (Rumohra adiantiformis) is a graceful tropical fern prized for its deep green leathery fronds and elegant arching growth habit. Popular both as a decorative houseplant and as a long-lasting greenery in floral arrangements, this versatile fern adds lush texture and timeless greenery to indoor spaces, shaded patios, and tropical plant collections.

The glossy dark green fronds feature a durable slightly leathery texture that gives the plant its common name. Its naturally arching habit creates a soft full appearance ideal for decorative pots, hanging baskets, and mixed tropical planters. Leatherleaf Fern is especially valued for its long-lasting foliage and ability to maintain a tidy attractive appearance indoors.

This tropical fern thrives in warm humid conditions with bright indirect light and evenly moist soil. Higher humidity helps maintain lush healthy fronds and prevents browning along the leaf edges. It performs especially well in bathrooms, kitchens, and other naturally humid indoor environments.

In Alberta, Leatherleaf Fern is best grown indoors year-round away from direct hot sunlight, cold drafts, and dry heating vents.
