Introducing a standout addition to your indoor garden: the captivating whirling fern. Known for its unique shape and easy care, this fern features broad strap-like leaves that elegantly emerge from a central rosette, setting it apart from traditional bird's nest ferns. Native to the Asian tropics, this fern naturally clings to trees and cliff edges, much like orchids and other epiphytic plants. In its natural habitat, it collects dew, water, and organic matter in its center, which it absorbs. However, as a houseplant, it’s best to avoid watering directly into the center. Instead, water around the base to keep it thriving and happy. Elevate your plant collection with this striking and low-maintenance fern!
