Great little fern

It's hard to find a fern that can tolerate a good amount of light, and the weight of a dart frog without injury, but this one delivers!

One of my favorite ferns and so hard to find around here

You made me a happy woman by having the Fluffy Ruffles fern on hand to mail out to me.It is such a sweet fern and my husband just finished putting new fiberglass over the patio so the light could come through good so those babies will be happy.You can be sure I will recommend you if anyone ask about the fern.Thank you.Bev.Precht

big and invasive fern

I have an 18" exo cube and this fern is way too big, if left uncontrolled it will grow to a square foot.. but the real bad part is the stolons!!! they will grow underground and pop out in all corners of the vivarium, and they are hard and tough to remove. Buy only if you have a lot of space and feel like pruning.

It's Alive After 23 Months

I've never kept a fern alive this long (nearly 2 years). It is looking fluffy still and is about 2.5 times bigger than when I purchased it. Thanks.
