Macho Fern

Go big or go home! The Macho Fern (Nephrolepsis bisarrata) is one of the biggest Fern accents available for your porch and patio! Sporting beefy fronds that are broad and long - they create an eye-catching coarse texture as they drape over pots and hanging basket sides, or over the edges of an indoor planter! The dark green color and upright spread look fantastic and require little maintenance to keep it looking spiffy year-round!

Shaped like the more traditional Boston Fern but bigger and broader, these are quite the conversation piece when anyone asks how you got your Fern to grow so large! You'll certainly receive many accolades for your efforts! Lush deep green and full of evenly spaced, opposite pairs of toothy lobes fill the entirety of each long arching fond! Ending at a lovely point, each leaf has a high impact in the container or warm climate garden as they do in the vase! Florists love these big leaves for their bouquets and cut flower gardens!

Outdoor hardy in shady USDA growing zones 10 and 11, these soak up the humidity, heat and moisture and are classic big focal points on a summer porch or patio! While it can vary in size depending upon where it is grown, give it room to pile on the nearly 4-foot long fronds, and grow into a 3-4 foot tall, and 3-5 foot wide arching mound!

Planting and Application:

These are incredible specimens that boost your summer porch and patio, sure to attract loads of attention in hanging baskets and patio pots! These high-impact accents add lacy coarse-textured greenery to your summer entertaining areas, seating areas and shaded poolside areas! The deep green fronds occasionally become festooned with dark spots on the undersides, known as spores.

Perfect for large planters and upscale pots, both indoors and out! Plant around a water feature or your sunroom, just a single plant will take up the whole corner once it's reached mature size! Set up on a tall pedestal to best display the arching fronds! Northern growers can even include these as annual accents in mixed planters, then as frost approaches, these big beefy tropical plants can be brought in for the winter.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Outside these Ferns thrive in part shade and full shade, appreciating consistent moisture in the soil and the air humidity. Provide bright, indirect light indoors, even tolerating a few hours of direct sunlight in the winter months and in cooler zones. Plant in well-drained locations with moderate moisture indoors and pot in very well-drained enriched soil. Remove any yellow foliage and tattered fronds to keep the plants clean.

• Bright Indirect Light & Part Shade to Full Shade Outdoors
• Moderate & Consistent Moisture
• Enriched Organic Soil
• Very Low Maintenance
• Mist Often When Indoors
