Commonly known as the 'Silver Lace Fern' or 'Slender Brake Fern', this Pteris is one of our favourite ferns to grow in the shop. Its feathery fronds display a frosty white variegation on the inner margins, which add a whimsical and elegant touch. 

Native to tropical and subtropical Asia, Africa and the Pacific, the 'Evergemiensis' can be found growing under the canopy in humid forests and rock crevices. Direct sun will scorch this plant, so bright, dappled light is best. Provide the root system with consistent moisture, but avoid water-logging the soil. Boost humidity around this plant to ensure the leaf tips do not crisp up. Although they prefer warmth, they can tolerate temperatures as low as 10ºC, as long as it is in short bursts. 

A charming addition to any plant collection. We use these ferns a lot in our Kokedama workshops because of their colour palette and sculptural elegance. However, they also look incredible in terrariums and mixed planters.
