Re: Ferns in high humidity and temperature environment
A lot of ferns can easily thrive with that. Usually any epiphytic or ground fern that has a stiff or succulent leaf can withstand such conditions. Staghorn fern can grow really long fronds though and they also require a dormant season. Bird's nest ferns are also great in this conditions and can easily be split into smaller pieces for planting vertically or on viv walls. Tassel ferns of either the genus Huperzia or Polystichum can also be used but huperzias prefer it a bit drier while polystichum likes it a bit cooler. Tropical brackens (Pteridiums) are also nice but they can be quite huge.
The next condition will depend on two things:
- how bright is your lighting in that viv?
- where do you plan to position the fern? (i.e. on the wall, stand it in water, or straight into the substrate or along the waterfalls?
