A highly decorative and attractive fern, 'Alba' is appealing without the visual ‘weight’ of many house plants. With white-striped fronds held on dainty stems, the brake fern makes a perfect table decoration or would lend itself to being ‘uplit’ in a dramatic fashion.
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, and place in a bright spot away from direct sunlight. These ferns love a humid atmosphere, so mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on pebbles in a tray filled with water. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C. Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
