Description (Polypodium polypodioides) Resurrection fern is a fascinating plant very common in the Southeast & found from Florida to New York and west to Texas. The fern is an air plant which means it attaches itself to other plants and gets its nutrients from the air and from water and nutrients that collect on the outer surface of bark. Resurrection fern lives on the branches of large trees such as cypresses and live oaks. It is often found in the company of other air plants such as Spanish moss & wild pine. The resurrection fern gets its name because it can survive long periods of drought by curling up and appearing dead. When just a little water is present, the fern will uncurl and reopen, appearing to resurrect. This plant has even been taken on a space shuttle mission to watch it resurrect itself in space! This tiny, creeping fern has a long stem to which the fronds are attached. The leathery, evergreen leaves are called fronds and are 4" to 12" long. The fronds are made of smaller, rounded, oblong blades alternately arranged but tending to become opposite. Like all ferns, the resurrection fern does not reproduce by fruits or seeds but uses spores instead. The spores are found in clusters, called sori, on the bottom of the blades near the edge. The sori appear as brown to black scales. The long, horizontal, skinny stem is less than 1/12" in diameter and is attached to and creeps along the bark of large trees. This is where the fronds then come out from. This US native is perfect for the shady rock garden where the soil is very organic (i.e.old rotted logs). It actually prefers to be anchored down on a tree, slab of wood, or a rock. Resurrection fern spreads via a vine runner to make a nice mat...never invasive. The dwarf evergreen foliage resembles a miniature Christmas Fern. The term evergreen needs to be qualified since when dry, the leaves curl up like they are dead, but re-hydrate at the first sign of rain. P. polypodioides does not like high fertility, so back off the fertilizer..
