Climbing Ferns?

This is may seem like an odd question, but today I found a group of very small climbing ferns growing on a tangerine tree. I have no idea what the species is, an I have never seen it in this area in going on 15 years. Whatever it is, I find it incredibly adorable and I want to grow it on a tree. Have any of you had such an experience? If so, what methods did you use to grow the ferns?

There are a couple of fern species that are invasive, so please be careful, but you should be able to use a little spagnum peat and attach a fern to a tree with a wire, especially at the base of a branch, the fern might eventually attach itself.

How about a pic? Billy is right, there are a couple of very invasive exotic climbing ferns that you really should not propagate.

I did a little research, and it and it appears to be Lygodium japonicum. Even though I like it, I'm not going to propagate it.

Florida has an invasive plant species list and I think that fern is on it.

Yes. That is it. Attractive, but nasty.
