Nephrolepis duffii

Nephrolepis duffii is a compact, charming fern with a softer, more textured look than its larger relatives. The small, button-shaped pinnae overlap along wiry stems, creating dense, feathery fronds that arch and trail as they lengthen. It works beautifully in a macrame, on a shelf edge, or tucked into a terrarium. It is easier to manage than many ferns and forgiving of the occasional missed watering.

Origins
Nephrolepis duffii is found across tropical regions of Australasia and the Pacific Islands, growing in warm, humid, shaded environments on the forest floor and along rocky outcrops.

Soil and Substrate
Our Fern Premium Potting Mix is peat-free and specifically formulated for ferns, with a blend that balances moisture retention and drainage. Keep the substrate consistently moist but not waterlogged. Medium to bright indirect light suits it best, though it tolerates lower light levels better than many houseplants.
