Lygodium Japonicum

Lygodium japonicum, also known as the Japanese Climbing Fern, is a unique and elegant fern distinguished by its twining, vine-like growth habit. Unlike typical ferns, its fronds grow indefinitely, climbing upward or trailing gracefully when given support. The delicately divided leaflets create a soft, lace-like texture, making it perfect for adding movement, height, and a whimsical woodland feel to indoor displays, shaded patios, or fern collections.

Plant size: Vining fronds ±1–3 m long (longer with support)
Light: Bright, indirect light to partial shade
Water: Keep soil consistently moist; do not allow it to dry out
Temperature: Warm, humid, frost-free conditions

A graceful and unusual fern — Lygodium japonicum brings soft texture, vertical interest, and a touch of wild forest charm to any shaded indoor or outdoor space.
