Frosty Fern

Frosty Fern

The Frosty Fern is a charming and festive houseplant that brings a touch of winter magic indoors. Despite its name, it isn’t a true fern but a type of spikemoss, celebrated for its soft, feathery foliage tipped with silvery-white edges that resemble a light dusting of frost. Its compact form and lush, textured appearance make it a favorite choice for holiday displays, terrariums, and tabletops, adding a cool, refreshing green contrast to traditional holiday décor.

Throughout the year, the Frosty Fern continues to shine as a beautiful indoor plant that thrives in humid environments. Its intricate foliage adds a layer of natural texture and vibrancy to any space, making it perfect for bathrooms, kitchens, or bright rooms with filtered light. During the holidays, it can be displayed in a decorative pot or paired with miniature ornaments and ribbons to enhance its frosted charm. With proper care, it remains an attractive, evergreen accent long after the holiday season has passed.

Though delicate in appearance, the Frosty Fern has simple needs. It appreciates consistent moisture and humidity. It prefers evenly moist soil and performs best in warm, humid conditions, away from direct sunlight or cold drafts. When cared for properly, this plant rewards with dense, vibrant growth and a graceful, frosted look that brightens indoor spaces all winter long.

Care Instructions:

Planting: Use a peat-rich, well-draining potting mix and place in a small pot or terrarium with good drainage.
Sunlight: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.
Watering: Keep soil consistently moist but never waterlogged. Mist regularly to maintain humidity.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted, balanced houseplant fertilizer. Pause feeding in fall and winter.
Pruning: Trim back any brown or leggy growth to maintain its compact form.
Winter Care: Avoid dry air from heaters; place on a humidity tray or use a humidifier to maintain moisture.
