Ferns are a very ancient family of plants: early fern fossils predate the beginning of the Mesozoic era, 360 million years ago.

They are older than land animals and far older than the dinosaurs. They were thriving on Earth for two hundred million years before the flowering plants evolved.

 

Nephrolepis Fern
		Ferns are great house plants.  Soil must never dry out - keep moist at all times.  Spray with a fine mist occasionally.  A little fertiliser suitable for ferns added to the soil and applied regularly is beneficial.
Silver Lady Fern
		This is a fast growing fern.  It needs a moist, shaded and protected position.  Looks great when planted in large pots for display.
Birds Nest - Asplenium australasicum
		Evergreen fern.  Produces broadly lanc-shaped, glossy, bright green fronds in a shuttlecock-like arrangement.  Grows equally well indoors and out.
Maiden Hair - Adiantum aethiopicum
		Evergreen fern that spreads by fine underground rhizomes.  Fonds have black wiry stalks and delicate, rounded leaflets with scolloped edges.  Quickly outgrows container and is best planted inground. min 7o
