Description

Elaphoglossum metallicum

Name: Elaphoglossum metallicum

Etymology: The genus name Elaphoglossum is derived from the Greek elaphos ("deer") and glossa ("tongue"). The specific epithet metallicum refers to the metallic luster of the fronds.

Location/Cultivation Conditions: We cultivate this fern at approximately 18–26 °C, with high humidity, good air circulation, and bright to partial shade, indirect light. We keep the humus-rich, loose, and well-drained substrate evenly moist, without waterlogging.

Description and Notes: Elaphoglossum metallicum is distinguished by its simple, undivided fronds with an unusually metallic-looking surface. The distinctive foliage effect is particularly striking in diffuse light. High humidity and a consistently slightly moist root zone support even growth.
