Pteris cretica Tropics and Subtropics The species as a whole occurs widely throughout the tropics and subtropics. It is frequently cultivated and escapes, obscuring the natural distribution. 大叶井口边草 |
Rhizome creeping or ascending, ca. 1 cm in diam., apex with black-brown scales. Fronds clustered, dimorphic or subdimorphic. |
|
The Brakes (Pteris) Propagation: By spores sown on fine sandy peat in well-drained pans in temperature 80F (27C) at any time; dwarf species by division of plants, October or April. |
Suitable for House Fern.
Large genus of mostly tropical ferns. The hardy species formerly included here will be found under Pteridium. |
Fronds to 12 inches (30 cms) long. 400-3200 m. |

Plant Delights Nursery sells Pteris cretica 'Ping Wu'. This fascinating Hans Hansen selection of Pteris cretica (coll #HH03CH099) comes from 3,500' elevation near Ping Wu in China's Sichuan Province. In the wild, this dwarf 15" tall x 30" wide plant was found growing among normal 2'+ tall individuals. Even when grown from spores, Pteris cretica 'Ping Wu' has retained the rock garden-size, dense, dwarf habit and extraordinarily narrow fronds. Five-fingered leaves adorn the 1' wide, deer-resistant, evergreen clump on this easy-to-grow fern. This fern looks so good all year it has become one of my all-time favorites, although I'm not thoroughly convinced that it doesn't belong to a different Pteris species. |
