Pteris Cretica 'Albo Fern'

Pteris Cretica 'Albo Fern'

Botanical Name: Pteris cretica var albolineata

Common Name(s): Albo-lineata, silver ribbon fern, Cretan Brake Fern, Cretan Fern

Description: The Albo Fern, a striking member of the Pteris cretica family, is a graceful and easygoing houseplant that adds a touch of elegance to any space. 

Native to Europe, Asia, and Africa, this stunning fern features broad green leaflets with soft, pale centers, creating a beautiful contrast that makes it stand out among other ferns. Its delicate, arching fronds give it an airy and refined look, perfect for brightening up indoor spaces.

Unlike some of its more finicky fern relatives, the Albo Fern is relatively low-maintenance. It thrives in indirect sunlight, appreciates a bit of humidity, and only needs occasional pruning to keep it looking its best. Outdoors, it can survive year-round in subtropical climates like California, growing up to 1-2.5 feet tall. 

Whether placed in a pot, hanging basket, or terrarium, this fern is a timeless beauty that brings a lush, refreshing vibe to any home or garden.
