Pteris Cretica 'Albo Fern'

Albo Fern 🤍🌿 is loved for its slender green fronds with pale cream to silvery centers, giving it a lighter, more elegant look than a standard green fern. It does best in bright indirect light indoors with steady moisture and a bit of humidity, making it a great fit for bathrooms, kitchens, desks, or shelves out of harsh sun. This fern is generally manageable and a little easiergoing than some fussier fern types, but it still does not want to dry out completely. Pro tip: if the fronds start crisping, check for dry soil, dry air, or too much direct sun 💧.
