About

Notogrammitis billardierei, also known as the common finger-fern, or common strap fern, is a small epiphytic or lithophytic fern [1] with small, strap like fronds, found commonly in wet forest in South-Eastern Australia and New Zealand.

How to grow it

Cultivation of Notogrammitis billardierei is limited as it is generally unavailable commercially, and its growing conditions are limited by its epiphytic nature [1]. For successful cultivation, it must be treated with delicacy and kept moist. The most common way to cultivate Notogrammitis billardierei is by mounting it epiphytically on a tree fern, such as Dicksonia antarctica.

Where it grows

Notogrammitis billardierei is widespread in rainforest and moist open forest in Tasmania, New Zealand, and the Eastern coast of Australia in Victoria, New South Wales, and Queensland [4].
