Know before you buy
Those are called rhizomes. They are specialized stems that store water and nutrients, and they naturally creep over the edge of the pot as the plant matures.
Yes, this fern is non-toxic to pets. It is a great choice for households with curious animals that like to explore your indoor greenery.
Keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Check the top inch of soil regularly; if it feels dry to the touch, it is time to water.
No, it prefers bright, indirect light. Direct sun can scorch the delicate fronds, so a spot near a window with a sheer curtain or a bright room away from harsh rays is ideal.
Absolutely. Its trailing growth habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging planters or elevated shelves where the rhizomes can gracefully spill over the sides.
