More information

This small frost-sensitive fern, widely used in floristry, is often grown indoors. Its tough fronds are divided into fairly shiny, bright green leaflets, with toothed edges highlighted by a band of lemon green near the central vein. Even in winter, Rumohra is decorative, forming a spreading and creeping clump that works well in a pot or on a green wall. Its cut foliage remains decorative for a long time.

Description

Rumohra adiantiformis Variegata is a lovely variegated form of the famous Florist's Fern. It is a very tender plant that is primarily grown indoors or in a conservatory, or even on a sheltered green wall, protected from frost. Whether in a pot or floral arrangements, its timeless elegance and the brightness of its shiny vibrant green fronds with a central band of yellowish green that almost looks artificial, are appreciated. Place your Rumohra 'Variegata' in partial shade or dappled sunlight, in slightly moist but well-drained soil, and in an atmosphere that is not too dry.

 

Rumohra adiantiformis Variegata belongs to the Dryopteridaceae family. The evergreen botanical species is native to tropical areas of South America, the Caribbean, South Africa, the western islands of the Indian Ocean, Papua New Guinea, and Oceania. It is a perennial fern with slightly trailing rhizomes, slowly forming a spreading and dense tuft, approximately 35 cm high and 35-40 cm (16in) wide. The 'Variegata' form develops generally triangular, leathery, bipinnate fronds with toothed pinnules or leaflets along the edges. They are shiny green with a lemon-green central line.

 

Rumohra adiantiformis has great ornamental value but is not suited for growing outdoors in our climates. It thrives in environments resembling tropical forests: filtered light, temperatures ranging from 10 to 22 °C (50 to 71.6°F), and moderately humid air. It can be grown in a pot, terrarium, floral compositions, bottle gardens, or a planter. To accompany it, consider asparagus ferns, Asplenium nidus, New Guinea impatiens, plectranthus, and other African violets, for example. Of course, its long-lasting cut foliage enhances any homemade flower arrangement.

Planting and care

Rumohra adiantiformis ferns are tender, frost-sensitive plants, most often grown indoors, in a conservatory or in a bright room that is not too heated. They prefer temperatures ranging between 10 and 22 °C. Place them in a very bright location, but without direct sunlight planted in high-quality soil mixed with a little sand. The growing medium should always remain slightly moist but not waterlogged. Do not leave a saucer under the pot as excess moisture can cause the rootstocks to rot. Regularly apply fertiliser for green plants. Also, spray the foliage with rainwater whenever necessary.

To repot your fern, wait until the pot is filled with roots, preferably in spring. You can also divide the clump at the same time, ensuring that each division is equipped with a beautiful piece of rootstock and several fronds.
