Native to tropical forests throughout the Americas, inhabiting shadier places on moist ground, stream banks and rock crevices, any place where moisture is consistently on the move
This delicate vividly green fern produces clusters of arching triangular shaped fronds made up of many overlapping segments upon hairlike stalks and short creeping rhizomes. It is easy to keep indoors as long as attention to moisture is heeded
Position - a warm spot in bright but dappled / filtered light. Can tolerate partial shade. Direct sun may scorch the leaves. Avoid proximity to heaters and drafts
Water - regularly enough to keep the root ball consistently moist but not soggy. The surface can be allowed to slightly dry before watering again. Water evenly around the plant avoiding the centre and discard any excess that flows out of the base. Do not leave the pot sitting in water as this will lead to root rot
Humidity - Ferns love humidity so a bathroom is ideal. Placing the pot on a tray of damp gravel will help. Misting is an option but only lends temporary humidity
Feeding - Ferns are not heavy feeders but an application of a balanced feed 3 or times between spring and autumn will give it a nourishing boost
Ideal Temperature - 18°C and 24°C (65°F and 75°F).
Repotting - only when necessary using an aerated, free draining mix of bark, coir and perlite. A shallow pot is ideal as roots radiate outwards
This is in a 12cm nursery pot. You will receive a plant similar to the one in photo
