Pteris spp. (Variegated Brake Fern) 4” — A Botanical Performer in Your Home Stage

Meet the Pteris spp., better known as the Variegated Brake Fern—a delicate yet striking fern with feathery fronds streaked in soft green and creamy white. Its airy, textured foliage brings an effortless elegance to any space, making it perfect for desks, shelves, or cozy nooks craving a bit of botanical charm.

The Nitty-Gritty (Plant Care):

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light but adapts to lower light. Keep it out of harsh direct sun—those variegated fronds are sensitive!

• Water: Keep soil evenly moist, but avoid soggy conditions. Think gentle hydration, not a full-on flood.

• Humidity: Loves humidity—ideal for bathrooms, terrariums, or homes with a humidifier. Dry air? Expect crispy tips.

What It’s Telling You:

• Happy Signs: Vibrant green-and-cream fronds with steady new growth.

• Needs TLC: Brown or crispy edges? Boost humidity. Yellowing leaves? Check watering habits—it might be too much or too little.
