Basket Types

  • These ferns are usually used as a potted plant or hanging basket indoors
  • These ferns are pet friendly and non-toxic
  • This fern thrives in partial shade to full shade but is adaptable in soil type
  • If grown outside, most be in shade to sun to full shade
  • This big, brawny fern sports bright green fronds with bold, broad leaves and makes its relatives, Boston fern and Kimberly Queen fern, look little by comparison
  • Macho fern is ideal for large urns or planters where it has room to flex its graceful 3- to 4-foot-long fronds
  • It's ideal for decorating shaded or partly shaded front porches, patios, and other outdoor living areas
  • In the fall, you can bring your macho fern indoors and place it a bright spot out of direct sun to grow as a houseplant.
