Diplazium proliferum is a lush, green fern that thrives in the moist, shaded understory of forests. The plant is harvested from the wild for local use as a food. It is widely grown as an ornamental, valued at least partly for its habit of producing bulbils along its fronds which then develop into new young plants.
