Asplenium 'Parvati'
mother fern
The stiff, waxy, dark green fronds of this evergreen Asplenium produces ‘fern babies’ on its leaves, which is why its commonly known as 'the mother fern'. An altogether robust and unusual indoor houseplant that is easy to grow, it's ideal for gently cascading over the edge of a shelf or bookcase.

How to care for Asplenium Parvati:
Avoid handling the newly emerging fronds and water regularly in the growing season so that the compost remains moist but not waterlogged. Mist the leaves regularly with water - particularly in winter when the central heating is turned on. Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter and repot in spring before the plant becomes too root-bound.
