Arching pale green fronds, each traced with a band of pale pewter along the center, make this striped version of the Cretan Brake Fern one of the most elegant of indoor plants. Prefers a well-drained potting soil and a warm, humid setting; bright, indirect light to shade. Shipped in a 4 1/2-inch, cream ceramic pot with attached saucer, ideal for keeping this Fern's roots cool. Winner of an Award of Merit from the Royal Horticultural Society.

Our eye-catching foliage plants look great day in and day out. Some produce flowers, but that's just a bonus. We selected this group with ease of care in mind as well, and then matched them up with ceramic pots softly glazed in cream or light green. Most are frost-sensitive tropicals that are not hardy in our climate, but we often move them outdoors for the summer and then bring them back inside before temperatures dip below 50 degrees F in the fall.
