Fern 'Green Flame'

Green Flame Fern 🔥🌿 has glossy, wavy green fronds that grow more upright than many ferns, giving it a fuller, tidier look while still feeling lush and tropical. It does best indoors in bright indirect light with a bit of extra humidity, making it a great fit for bathrooms, kitchens, or any spot away from harsh sun and dry vents. Care is pretty manageable if you stay consistent with moisture and avoid letting the soil dry out completely. Pro tip: if the fronds start looking crispy, it usually wants more humidity and more even watering 💧.
