Fern, Foxtail

Scientific Name: Asparagus densiflorus
Common Name: Foxtail Fern

The tradition of ferns as houseplants gained popularity in the mid- to late-1840's when wealthy homeowners would decorate their homes with them. Since then, ferns have become far more accessible and are very popular additions to indoor plant collections around the world. Ferns can give your indoor (and outdoor) space a touch of tropical or evergreen forest vibes. An added bonus is that nearly all ferns are fairly low maintenance and thrive in a variety of conditions. 

The Foxtail Fern is actually not a fern at all and comes from the Asparagus family, although it looks like & behaves similarly to true ferns, which is how it got its common name. These fun fellas look like mini pine trees with their bottle brush foliage. The foliage shows up in varying shades of light to dark green, depending on how much light they get. 

Basic Care Notes: Low to medium indirect light, keep evenly moist but not saturated. Ferns prefer humidity, but don't want to be soaking wet, either. Think forest floor-conditions, dappled lighting, natural humidity.
