Fern Silver Lace

Botanical Name: Polystichum setiferum 'Silver Lace'
Common Name(s): Silver Lace Fern, Soft Shield Fern

The Silver Lace Fern  is a beautiful and elegant fern known for its soft, feathery texture and striking silver-toned foliage. The plant’s delicate, lacy fronds are a silvery green with a soft, almost metallic sheen, giving the fern its "silver lace" appearance. This unique coloration sets it apart from other ferns, making it a standout in any indoor garden or plant collection. The fronds are finely divided and arch gracefully, creating a soft, airy effect that’s perfect for brightening up spaces such as living rooms, bathrooms, and offices.

Native to Europe and parts of Asia, this fern thrives in temperate, shaded environments but adapts easily to typical indoor conditions, making it a great option for both beginners and experienced plant owners. It grows slowly to a height of about 1–2 feet (30–60 cm), with a similar spread. Its compact size and elegant form make it a wonderful choice for pots, containers, or hanging baskets, where its graceful fronds can spill over the edges for an attractive, flowing display.

Silver Lace Ferns prefer bright, indirect light, though they can tolerate some low light, especially if placed in a location with consistent, stable conditions. Direct sunlight should be avoided, as it can scorch the delicate fronds, causing brown tips and edges. In lower light, the fern's growth may slow, but it will still thrive and maintain its attractive form. Ideal temperature conditions for this plant range from 60-75°F (15-24°C), and like many ferns, it should be kept away from cold drafts or extreme heat.

This fern enjoys consistently moist, well-draining soil that is kept slightly acidic. Water the plant regularly, allowing the top of the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot. The Silver Lace Fern is sensitive to dry soil and will show signs of distress if the roots are allowed to dry out completely.

As a true tropical fern, this plant also thrives in higher humidity. It’s well-suited for bathrooms, kitchens, or other areas with naturally higher humidity, but it can also adapt to typical indoor humidity levels. If the air in your home is dry, occasional misting or placing the fern on a humidity tray can help boost moisture levels around the plant, promoting healthy growth.

Note: The Silver Lace Fern is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats and dogs.  As with any plant, it's best to handle with care, especially if you have sensitive skin, as the fronds can occasionally cause mild irritation for some individuals

We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.
