A rare and mesmerizing epiphytic lycophyte (not a true fern), Huperzia phlegmaria 'White Stem' is prized for its cascading, prehistoric-looking stems with delicate, needle-like leaves. The "White Stem" variety features striking creamy-white or pale yellow variegation along its stems, creating a stunning contrast against the deep green foliage. Its elegant, pendulous growth makes it ideal for hanging baskets or mounted displays.
