Among Earth's oldest plant groups (dating back 360 million years!), ferns bring ancient forest magic to modern homes. This variety features delicate, bushy fronds that create a soft, ethereal aesthetic. Unlike most houseplants, ferns reproduce via spores rather than seeds, and have no flowers. They thrive in the humid, filtered light of forest floors, so recreating these conditions ensures lush growth. Perfect for bathrooms where they'll love the steamy environment.
