Pyrrosia longifolia fern

18 years ago

I saw this for the first time today in a display of ferns, and would love to acquire one. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy one?

Thanks for your input Patrick, but I am not convinced that it is a Pteris. Plants of P. longifolia I have seen in the past have not been so large or growing in such an obvious rosette. At the time it reminded me of a Blechnum, but now I'm not so sure. I didn't think to look at the sori at the time, probably because I was being hurried along by a small child... I am attaching a closer picture on the link below, hope this may help Aaron_UK Here is a link that might be useful: Fern

I would imagine they would grow like a platycerium. See my posts regarding mounting and fertilizing them.

I did a search on Google and it came up with three different ferns going by that name. Can you please describe the plant or give me a link to a picture. Thanks.

My enquiry was fruitless. They said none were available and they aren't growing them any more. Disappointing

Sorry to hear that Valda, did they tell you why they are not growing them anymore.
Perhaps ask at Bunnings, K-Mart and Big W to see if they can find a source..

Put a post on the Australian Garden Exchange here someone may be able to swap you a piece..

No. They gave no explanation. I'll try those outlets you suggest. Thanks May Ann
