This pretty fern has slender, finger-like fronds, each of which has a ruffled trim and a cream and green variegation. Forming on a slowly spreading rhizome and topping slender stems, the foliage of Pteris nipponica creates a rather lacy, ethereal effect.
Please note that the plant comes in a 12cm nursery pot as standard, unless a decorative pot cover is included as an option.

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 (50°F) in winter and avoid summer temperatures above 25°C (77°F). Repot in spring when the plant becomes root-bound.
