Sword Fern (Foxtail Fern or Nephrolepis)

The Sword Fern, also known as Foxtail Fern or Nephrolepis, is a shrub-like plant with delicate, trailing, light green compound leaves.

It grows to a height of 10 cm and thrives in humid, shady, and relatively cool environments.

Plant Features

With proper care—including appropriate watering, fertilization, and a pot that allows for extensive root growth—a single frond can grow up to one meter in length.

This is one of the most common types of ferns, and the leaflets that make up its fronds can have either wavy or ruffled edges.

Ferns are a very popular choice for both indoor and garden use, dating back to prehistoric times with tens of thousands of species.

They range in appearance from light and airy to dense and bushy, but their care needs remain similar.

Generally, ferns don't require intensive care but do need a little attention to grow large and lush.

Propagation

This plant can be easily propagated by division.
