Resurrection Fern

Pleopeltis polypodioides

Description:

This fern is an epiphyte, drawing moisture, nutrients, and water from the air and bark of the tree it is attached to. It can survive long periods of drought by curling up and drying out, but it returns to its normal form with just a little water.
