The fern earns its "walking" nickname from its ability to root at the tips of its fronds, allowing it to spread gradually across the ground
Fronds are light green, arching, and can reach up to 2 feet long, often emerging pink in spring
It thrives in humid, shaded environments and is often grown in hanging baskets or as ground cover
