General Information and Care: Elaphoglossum sp. #2 is an interesting relatively new introduction to the US terrarium hobby. This species hails from Ecuador, and is typically found growing epiphytically on tree branches or rocks. The fronds of this species are typically held up off of the rhizome about 1". The fronds themselves are about a half in wide and tall. Each frond is a stunning fan shape that opens bright green and matures to deep green and have a split down the center typically. We have had the best experience growing this species when mounted on wood with small bit of sphagnum under it.
