This newly descovered specie restricted to karst limestone of Southern Thailand. At first sight you may assume it is calciphilopteris ludens, but it is much smaller, with three-lobed fronds in deep green that are in red-orange color when young! It is compact (3-4") and spreads slowly by underground rhizomes.


It does best in peat based medium, with additional of small percentage (usually just 2-5% by volume) of limestone chips to the mix. Trimming old, yellow fronds frequently promotes production of new growth.


Offered are mature plants. established in 3" pot
