Didymochlaena sp. (Mahogany Fern)This Mahogany Fern, a cultivated Didymochlaena, produces broad divided fronds whose new growth opens copper, bronze and reddish brown. Small glossy leaflets sit in neat pairs along dark stems and gradually turn deep green. Their rounded, slightly toothed shape gives a finished frond a dense layered texture.The warm colour is brightest while the upright croziers unfold and the leaflets remain soft. Older fronds become greener, broader and more strongly arched, so one plant can hold mahogany, olive and polished dark-green foliage together.Beneath them, an erect to ascending rhizome slowly forms a short thick caudex, with the fronds clustered around its centre. The compact base holds copper, olive and dark-green fronds together in the same crown. Show more
