Hemionitis arifolia at a glance:

Hemionitis arifolia, often called Heart Fern, is a compact tropical fern grown for glossy heart-shaped leaves on dark wiry stems rather than for feathery fronds or big volume. That distinct leaf shape gives it a cleaner, more graphic character than most ferns, which is why it works so well in terrariums, shallow pots, and high-humidity shelves where detail matters more than size. It stays controlled and elegant, making it useful in miniature plantings that would be overwhelmed by broader or faster ferns.

Give it warmth, consistently light moisture, filtered light, and elevated humidity, and it becomes a pet-safe, slow-growing accent that adds real structure without ever feeling bulky or wild, which is why it fits miniature plantings so well.
