• About antenna fern

  This extremely cute houseplant is known as antenna fern because of it's long feather-like growth. Although it’s only small, it will bring a big smile wherever you put it.

  Like ferns, it loves to grow in places where the air is humid, particularly near the coast. In the wild, you’d find it growing in Australia.

  We think it looks gorgeous as a houseplant. It’s not hard to look after. It likes quite moist soil, but always make sure excess water can drain off. In winter, some of its lovely leaves may die off, but this is nothing to worry about. Cut off any that look sad and wait for more to grow back in spring.
