Known as 'Nephrolepis cordifolia' to botanists this unassuming houseplant has various common names including ladder fern, fishbone fern and tuber sword fern on account of its neatly arranged series of long, slender fronds that create an attractive, almost ladder-like pattern. This delicate looking fern arcs outwards from the center to produce a gentle, layered display which makes it an excellent filling greenery for many spots around the home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRelatively easy to care for, this type of fern can tolerate most average domestic conditions and this has allowed it to develop into a fantastic choice for a first ever houseplant. It enjoys regular watering and plenty of light, preferably indirect but as long as its position gets some light, it won’t be long to get settled into the area, as with many ferns it can take a little time for them to establish. With an underground network of ‘tubers’ on the roots which provide a small source of stored moisture if watering has been missed, the Bottle Fern is suitable for living room, office or bathroom window sill, or any balcony space with indirect light. Unlike its flower-forming houseplant cousins, Bottle Ferns don’t bloom, relying on spores for reproduction and will focus all of its energy on creating gorgeous foliage – as it should.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe overlapping nature of its fronds will compliment many other foliage styles and plant companions and will even compliment plants with wider leaves.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt’s a great way to incorporate an easy-care splash of green into any environment and can work at varying positions if provided with appropriate conditions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFeathery leaves divided in very thin segments laid out in fish bone form. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIts graceful arches offer contrasting texture along plants with thicker leaves. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis can stand indoor light conditions such as bright indirect light till partial shade.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTubers developed at the root can assist the plants withstand watering schedule lapses.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIdeal to be placed at the living room, balcony, an airy bathroom, office table or desk plant shelf orstand Plant is a suitable choice if we wish to have indoor collections with variety in size. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli dir=\"ltr\" role=\"presentation\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpread over slowly with the runners beneath the ground and beneficial for future planting projects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare at a Glance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv dir=\"ltr\" align=\"left\"\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"208\"\u003e\n\u003ccol width=\"416\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare Aspect\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRequirement\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSunlight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright, indirect light is best;
