The genus snakeferns encompasses epiphytic ferns well-adapted to warm, humid environments, typically requiring filtered light, consistent moisture, and well-draining, rich organic substrates. These plants often grapple with challenges such as scale insects, mealybugs, and fungal diseases. Seasonal shifts necessitate adjustments in watering and humidity, with reduced irrigation during cooler, dormant periods, and increased vigilance for pests and moisture levels during growth seasons.
