have received in conditions of damp tropical woods, there they grow not only on a surface of ground, but also as Elifits - on trunks and branches of trees. From these places there is a set ferns, suitable for cultivation in room conditions. A variety of places of their dwelling has led in turn to to variety of forms: from tiny plants up to treelike giants up to 25 meters. The majority room ferns - grassy plants with well advanced rhizome. The rhizome can be short, vertical, but it is more often horizontal, creeping. Numerous additional roots depart from a rhizome in ground, and from his top - beautiful, large, more often pinnately-divided leaves. The young, not developed{unwrapped} leaves, are curtailed as a snail that is typical of all ferns. On the bottom party of leaves sporangiums with disputes develop.
