Kimberly Queen Sword Fern — Nephrolepis obliterata

Description

Kimberly Queen Sword Fern is a neat tropical fern with upright green fronds. Its strong shape works well in pots, on shaded porches, and in bright indoor rooms.

It has a more upright look than many ferns. Pair it with the larger Macho Fern, the compact Lemon Button Fern, or the fine silver marks of Silver Lace Fern.

How to Grow Kimberly Queen Fern

• Light: Bright indirect light or light shade is best.
• Soil: Use rich soil that drains well.
• Water: Keep the soil lightly moist. Do not let it stay soggy.
• Humidity: It likes warm air and fair humidity.
• Cold: Protect it from frost.

Growth and Shape

The fronds grow upright and can form a full clump. This makes the plant easy to place near doors, on patios, or in large indoor pots.

Care Tips

Water when the soil surface starts to dry. Trim old fronds near the base. Keep the plant away from hot sun and cold drafts.
