Meet Living Lace ‘Parvati’, a hybrid fern from Australia, boasting shiny, evergreen fronds in a lush shade of dark green. ‘Parvati’ looks delicate with its feathery foliage, but it is more robust & adaptable than it appears, with thick fronds coated in a waxy, protective layer that prevents moisture loss and helps it to tolerate lower humidity. ‘Parvati’ grows slowly in moderate, indirect light, to form a dense, compact mound that can bring a touch of Down Under charm to any corner of your home. It gets the common name "Mother Fern'' due to the fact that it produces plant babies on its fronds.

Maintenance Notes:- For optimal performance, keep your Fern at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
- Ferns thrive in medium to bright indirect light. Placing them near an eastern- or northern-facing window, that does not get any midday direct sunlight, would be ideal.
- Ferns prefer high humidity to prevent their edges from turning brown. Cold drafts and forced air can also lead to browning tips and edges. You can supplement their humidity with a humidifier, regular misting, or by placing them on a pebble tray with water.
- Ferns prefer moist, but not soggy soil. Be sure to water when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure good drainage and do not allow your Fern to sit in water for extended periods of time, after it has received a good soaking.
- Feed your Fern once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- Protect furniture when watering & fertilizing.
- When repotting your Fern, use an all-purpose potting mix, with perlite added to ensure good drainage.
