Asplenium haurakiense
Height: 0.5m;  Spread: 0.5m
Hauraki Asplenium (Fern)
Although best in shade it is an incredibly tough fern for those hot dry sunny places that very few ferns can survive in. It loves rich guano or compost and makes a great pot plant. Coastal rock dweller it forms a dense clump of hundreds of fronds.

This asplenium haurakiense grows in a ponga pot under the liquid amber. I keep it moist during the summer months and away from the snails!
