Tongue Fern (Pyrrosia lingua) is a unique and visually striking epiphytic or lithophytic fern native to East Asia, including China, Japan, and Taiwan. It belongs to the Polypodiaceae family and is well-known for its leathery, tongue-shaped leaves.

Key Characteristics:

• Leaves: Thick, leathery, elongated, and tongue-like (hence the name). The upper surface is smooth and green, while the underside may have a velvety texture with tiny, rust-colored sori (spore clusters).
• Growth Habit: It can grow as an epiphyte (on trees) or lithophyte (on rocks), but it also does well in soil.
• Hardiness: It is relatively hardy, tolerating a range of conditions but preferring warm, humid environments.
• Light Requirements: Prefers partial shade to bright, indirect light.
• Watering Needs: Likes consistent moisture but should not sit in waterlogged soil.
• Propagation: Usually propagated via rhizome division.

Uses:

• Ornamental Plant: Popular in terrariums, hanging baskets, and as a ground cover in shaded gardens.
• Traditional Uses: In some cultures, Pyrrosia lingua has been used in herbal medicine.
