Ribbon Fern
Pteris cretica, commonly known as Cretan Brake or Ribbon Fern, is a graceful and versatile fern species that adds a touch of elegance to indoor and outdoor spaces alike. This fern is characterized by its delicate, arching fronds that are adorned with distinctive, ribbon-like leaflets. Thriving in partial to full shade and consistently moist, well-draining soil, Pteris cretica is relatively low-maintenance and adaptable, making it suitable for both novice and experienced gardeners. Ideal for use in hanging baskets, containers, or as a ground cover in shaded garden areas, this fern brings a sense of lush greenery and natural beauty to any setting. Its soft, feathery foliage and easy-going nature make Pteris cretica a popular choice for adding texture and visual interest to gardens, patios, and indoor plant displays throughout the year.
