Lush, hardy, and elegant—perfect for indoor or shaded outdoor spaces.
The Sword Fern is a classic favorite for adding lush greenery to both indoor and outdoor settings. With its graceful, arching fronds and vibrant green foliage, it brings instant texture and life to shaded gardens, patios, and interiors.
Growing Conditions:
Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light or dappled shade. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the fronds.

Soil: Grows best in well-draining, rich organic soil with good moisture retention.
Temperature: Ideal temperatures range from 15°C to 24°C. Protect from frost.
Feeding: Feed monthly during active growth (spring to early autumn) with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Maintenance: Remove old or yellowing fronds to keep the plant looking fresh. Can be divided when overcrowded.
Perfect for: Hanging baskets, containers, shaded borders, or as a lush houseplant. Sword ferns are also excellent air purifiers, making them a healthy and stylish choice indoors.
