The Western queen fern, also known as Nephrolepis cordifolia, is a stunning fern with delicate, finely toothed foliage that creates a lush, tropical feel in any space. This fern is native to the tropical regions of the Americas, and it is a naturally attractive choice for home and garden decor because of its ease of care and striking appearance. The foliage of the Western queen fern is a beautiful shade of bright green, with a slightly glossy texture that catches the light and adds depth and interest to its surroundings. The leaves are long and slender, with a graceful, arching form that makes them an excellent choice for hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground cover in a garden or patio. The Western queen fern prefers to be kept consistently moist, but not waterlogged, so it is essential to allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. It also benefits from regular fertilization during the growing season to promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. One of the best things about the Western Queen Fern is its versatility in terms of placement. This fern can be grown in both indoor and outdoor environments, preferring bright, indirect light to partial shade. It can take some direct sun but will require more water. Overall, the Western queen fern will tolerate drier, pooer soil than most ferns.
