Comments:
This fern produces fronds with long narrow pinnae with darker green edges and pale yellow green streaks down the center. As with most ferns this one does well in humid climates and will grow well in containers especially areas subject to hard freezes. It does best in a porous soil and stays moist. When plant becomes straggly cut back frond to rejuvenate new growth. Fertilize monthly during the period of active growth.
