An interesting and unusual fern with long finger-like fronds in a subtle blue/green shade growing on many long upright stems. This fern naturally grows in tropical rainforests with high humidity levels, so place this in your steamy bathroom or kitchen and it should be very happy. It likes a bright spot, out of any direct sunlight, but will tolerate lower light levels making it an easy plant to look after.

We’re proud to support our British growers, and having been raised by one of our trusted UK nurseries, this indoor plant has a low carbon footprint, which makes it perfect for an eco-friendly collection or gift.

Please note that the pot in the photograph is not supplied with the plant (which is sent out in a simple nursery alternative), but we have a wide and wonderful range on our website to choose from.


  • Home care:
    Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter. If you can't place it in a humid atmosphere like your bathroom you can still grow this plant, just mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on a tray of damp pebbles.
