Lepisorus bicolor, commonly known as Sichuan Ribbon Fern, is an evergreen fern native to the understory of moist, temperate forests in the Himalayas and South-Central China. It typically grows to a height of 1 foot (0.3 meters) and a width of 1-2 feet (0.3-0.6 meters), featuring distinctive, elongated fronds that are green on top with a contrasting pale underside, which gives the plant its bicolor name. The fronds are relatively narrow and can add a delicate texture to shaded garden areas.

Sichuan Ribbon Fern is valued for its adaptability to container growing and shaded garden spots, where it can provide year-round greenery. It is often used in shaded rock gardens, as an understory plant in woodland gardens, or in terrariums. This fern prefers consistently moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter and thrives in part shade, though it can tolerate more light in cooler climates. It is not drought-tolerant and requires regular watering to maintain its lush appearance. While generally disease-free, it can suffer from root rot if overwatered or planted in poorly drained soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
