Christmas Fern, Polystichum acrostichoides

The Christmas Fern is among the most popular evergreen ferns. Evergreen ferns maintain their green color throughout the winter and are ideal for fall and winter gardens. This plant is shipped with bare roots and can be planted at any time of the year.

The plant gets its name from its ability to stay green during winter. It belongs to the family of hardy ferns. It is easy to grow as long as the environmental conditions are suitable.

The Christmas Fern does best in rich and fertile, well-drained soil.

It survives in both partial and complete shade but will tolerate some sun. With the right conditions, it is an excellent evergreen plant. It forms dark green, fountain-like clumps with leathery fronds, making it an excellent choice for ground cover. It is a fast-growing plant, usually reaching about 2 feet in height. The plant also does well during periodic dry seasons and is not prone to diseases.

Caring for the Christmas fern is straightforward and should be simple. They require minimal watering, but keeping the soil moist is essential. Using mulch is effective in retaining moisture. Similar to other robust ferns, it thrives in both indoor and outdoor settings. You can grow this fern in a hanging basket indoors. Outdoors help prevent soil erosion due to its ground-covering nature. It is commonly used in natural landscaping and as an ornamental plant.

The Christmas fern is shipped as a bare root (root/rhizome only) without foliage at the time of shipment.

You can easily plant it and observe its growth! Planting can be done at any time of the year, and it will arrive healthy and accompanied by clear instructions. It is guaranteed to grow. It's worth noting that hanging baskets often contain ferns that closely resemble the Christmas fern but are not evergreen like this one!
