Maidenhair fern

Fussy about dry air and nothing else. A steamy bathroom or a pebble tray and it will forgive you a great deal.

Dappled shade to full sun in cooler gardens. Soil that holds moisture but never sits wet. Cut the spire back after flowering and it will often give a second, smaller flush.

Plants travel in shredded paper and straw, in a box we can post through the parcel network. Orders placed before Thursday go out the same week.
