I own one and have found that if you allow it to dry between waterings, thatit will drop fronds. Otherwise very easy to grow, Good plant for beginners, grows relatively quickly, likes to be slighly root bound, and does well hanging. Very unusual to look at. Very good pic at exoticangels.com - which is where our company gets ours.
Positive	palmbob	On Sep 8, 2004, palmbob from Tarzana, CA (Zone 9b) wrote: Attractive epiphytic fern- commonly used for hanging baskets and wall/tree mounts in warmer areas of Southern California. Has long, leather leaves with wide leaflets. Rhizomes are highly ornamental as they are so thick and fuzzy (up to 1" thick).
