Scientific Name:
Polypodium polypodioidesProduct Details:
Polypodium polypodioides 'Resurrection Fern'- An air plant that does not root in soil and absorbs nutrients and water from the air. It gets it name from surviving long periods of drought by curling up and appearing dead, when just a little water is present the fern will uncurl and open, resurrecting itself.
Peak Period: Middle Devonian (410 to 360 million years ago) In their prehistoric heyday, ferns dominated landscapes. Many evolved into modern plants, and more than 12,000 species thrive today. From big tree ferns to tiny, wispy strains, they reproduce from spores found beneath their fronds, or leaves.
