DESCRIPTION
Presenting the Pteris Cretica 'Albo Fern', a remarkable fern species originating from the Mediterranean region. Characterized by its intricate leaf pattern and striking contrast of color, this fern is truly a sight to behold. The leaves, a brilliant blend of cream and green, have a unique, feathery structure that gives the plant an ethereal, airy appearance. The fronds of the fern, variegated and beautifully textured, extend outwards to create an impressive spread that can reach up to 24 inches in both height and width. The 'Albo Fern' creates a stunning spectacle in any indoor garden or terrarium, where it fills spaces with its lush, dense foliage. When grown in pots, the fern spills over the edges in an enchanting cascade of green and cream, creating a spectacular "waterfall" effect. This slow-growing plant, though requiring patience, rewards its caretakers with a stunning display of its intricate foliage. One of the most intriguing aspects of the 'Albo Fern' is its adaptive nature. This plant has a fascinating ability to acclimatize to various conditions, from low light to indirect sunlight, and from high humidity to drier environments. It thrives best in moist, well-drained soil and prefers cooler temperatures, which mimic its native Mediterranean habitat. Adding to its allure, the 'Albo Fern' plays a crucial role in air purification. As a natural air purifier, it helps in removing toxins from the environment, contributing to a healthier and cleaner living space. In terms of aesthetics, the 'Albo Fern' adds a touch of elegance and sophistication to any space. Its delicate, feathery fronds create a soft, calming ambiance, making it an excellent choice for offices, living rooms, or even bedrooms. The Pteris Cretica 'Albo Fern' is a testament to the beauty and resilience of nature. Its stunning appearance, combined with its air-purifying properties and adaptability, makes it a must-have for any plant enthusiast or anyone looking to add a touch of nature's beauty to their indoor spaces. Be prepared to be captivated by this fern's charm and elegance, as it brings a piece of the Mediterranean's natural beauty into your home.
PLANT SIZING & APPEARANCE

Plant sizing is based on the diameter of the nursery pot (2", 2.5", 3", 4" etc), not the plant itself. Plants may be slightly larger or smaller than the pot they are grow in depending on availability or time of year. While we do our best to ship plants as similar to those pictured as possible, please keep in mind that all plants are unique from one to the next, and display color, shape, and growth variation based on current environment, time of year, and other contributing factors. Please note that we ship our plants as dry as possible in the fall and winter months to prevent root rot or freezing. They will plump back up after planting!
