Plant Biography
Grows best in indirect light and is quite tolerant of shady positions. The creeping rhizomes will quickly fill the pot and provide a dense crown of arching fronds.
Thrives in the humid environment of a bathroom or kitchen, but can be kept in the living room or office if you mist regularly to increase humidity.
Care & Size Guidance
You’ll need a large space to appreciate this fern in all of its glory. Best displayed in a hanging basket, or on top of a pedestal so that the crown can hang down without impediment.
If the Giant Sword Fern gets too large, the rootball can be divided into smaller plants.
Feed regularly with a fern fertiliser from April to September.
