Origin
The Asplenium scolopendrium, also known as the hart's tongue fern, is a type of fern that is native to Europe and Asia. It is mostly found in cool and damp forests, but also in the moist crevices of rocks. It is a plant that generally grows in the wild and is therefore a strong and resilient plant.
Characteristics
The Asplenium scolopendrium has a recognisable appearance with its long, glossy tongue-shaped leaves that are evergreen. This means that the plant does not lose its leaves in winter. The plant's flowering period is between May and September, during which it forms spores instead of flowers. The leaves can reach a height of 30 to 50 centimetres.
Care
For the care of the Asplenium scolopendrium, it is important that the plant is placed in a spot with partial shade or shade. It thrives in moist, but well-draining soil. The plant has no special dietary needs, but it is recommended to keep the soil rich in minerals to promote optimal growth. It is important to cut away the dead leaves in the spring to stimulate new growth.
