House Plant Shop Austral Gem Fern

No, this fern is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep it in a location that is inaccessible to curious cats or dogs.

The Austral Gem Fern prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid placing it in direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves, or in very dark corners where it may struggle to grow.

While this variety is more durable than many other ferns due to its waxy coating, it still appreciates consistent moisture. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch, ensuring the pot has proper drainage.

It prefers medium humidity levels. While it is more adaptable than many other fern species, it will appreciate a spot with decent airflow and can benefit from occasional misting if your indoor air is particularly dry.

Because it grows in a flat, spreading habit, it is an excellent candidate for hanging baskets or elevated pedestal displays. These placements allow its unique foliage to drape naturally and be viewed from above.

Your fern arrives established in its 4-inch pot with soil included. It is ready to be placed in your home immediately upon arrival.
