Feather Fern
Sources say these ferns are evergreen perennials that have roots in the ground. The leaves appear on long stems that give them a "feather-like" appearance. The feather fern is popular for its whimsical, wandering personality which thrives in lowland forests.
The Feather Fern can be positioned on table tops, tucked into crevices of urns or other containers. A dramatic look is achieved by tucking them around tall branches of trees. The feather fern adds gentle texture to woodsy weddings featuring blooms such as White Dahlia Flowers, Zip Mini Button Pom White Flowers, White Rice Flowers, and Bulk Explosion Grass.
To help preserve Feather Ferns' fronds, mist their foliage with water once or twice per day. To keep the feather fern looking crunchy and fresh, avoid placing them in direct sunlight.

Be sure to make enough space for the fern's roots during the preparation of the container. Ensure there is proper drainage by using a container with small holes or using gravel on the bottom of the planter. Keep soil moist but not wet, since too much moisture will cause root rot. Don't let them sit in water. Check the ferns by gently pulling on them. If they come out of the soil easily, they aren't taking up enough moisture. If the roots are too wet or soggy, your feather fern will rot. If the roots are dry, your feather fern will be too dry.
Water these ferns about once per week depending upon location and time of year. During the summertime, place them in partial shade to prevent sun scorch. Although this fern tolerates most soil conditions, it prefers moist but well-drained soil with a pH between 6.1 and 6.5.
