Notes
Dragon scale fern (Pyrrosia piloselloides) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance gardens. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun and average to moist soil. It stays evergreen, so it adds green color through every season.
Pairs well with Jade pothos, Birkin philodendron, and Zebra plant.
