Introducing the resilient Ribbon Fern, an exceptional variety of Pteris Cretica known for its remarkable hardiness and striking aesthetic. This fern outperforms others by enduring winter temperatures as low as 10 degrees Fahrenheit, proven to maintain a lush, unblemished appearance even after dipping to 16 degrees last winter.
Perfect for both beginners and seasoned gardeners, the Ribbon Fern thrives up to 18 inches in height and width, presenting a lush, airy display of bright-green fronds. As it matures, expect a wider spread, adding a voluminous charm to your garden space or indoor settings.
Caring for this fern is straightforward. It adapts well to a range of soil types, flourishing in any well-draining, peat-based potting mix. Ensure the soil remains moist without becoming waterlogged to mimic the plant's preferred humid conditions.
I do not have an indoor garden so I am waiting until spring to plant. I will try planting closer to Feb or March in small pods watering with spray bottle, and slowly introduce the plants to outdoor conditions.
