Austral Gem Fern

Austral Gem Fern (Asplenium dimorphum × difforme) is a unique hybrid fern prized for its glossy, leathery foliage and exceptional durability. Unlike many ferns, its leaves are thick and shiny, giving it a lush, almost plastic-like appearance that resists browning and crisping. Native to Australia, this fern grows in a compact, bushy form, making it perfect for tabletops, shelves, or as a hardy accent plant in low-light areas.

What sets the Austral Gem Fern apart is its toughness—it tolerates lower humidity, irregular watering, and indoor conditions far better than most ferns. It thrives in indirect light, with soil kept evenly moist but not soggy. With its elegant texture, rich green color, and forgiving nature, the Austral Gem Fern is a fantastic choice for plant lovers who want the beauty of a fern without the fuss.
