i have a particular dayap tree on which this particular plant grows on. I guess because of this pervasive plant on it, it won’t produce any fruit but the tree is very much alive. My husband pruned the tree once to its base hoping the plant won’t grow any more, but grow lush it did. Knowing that the particular spot is conducive to these kinds of plants, I would hang all the botanical orchids we have on this dayap tree—making it my rainforest christmas tree.

danney, I don’t think they will grow on concrete. They don’t even thrive on all trees…

I like it. I think it will be a good covering to our concrete fences and change it to a green wall. Very refreshing look!!

So here I am back onboard a cruise ship after spending nice vacation in my hometown Sta. Rosa, Laguna cruising Australia, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Bora Bora, Tahiti, Hawaii all the way to Vancouver, Victoria, Seattle and Alaska. I’m going on a food tripping in every city we are visiting and for sure I will look for Filipino restaurants.

They relieve tired eyes. I like the fern ones that grows on matured acacia trees. I believe that is their natural habitat and thrive well.

This are quite common on acacia tree here in singapore…I see them on the trees even on the street sides as well as those in the parks and forest reserves. Fern and orchid like plants are also abundant on their trunks. The good thing about this acacia trees if you line them around is that they seem to always have that fog around which I always see in the early hours of morning or even after a brief rain shower at any time of the day. The national parks of singapore names the above as Pyrrosia piloselloides

you should come to Brunei. It is a common site in a lot of the trees here and they are beautiful at day but find it a bit creepy at night!

roelm, actually the “pods” appeared to have spores on the outside with no apparent seeds inside. The spore were similar to those on a large dapo fern…
