There are some plants that found their way into my garden and made it their home. Sometimes, these laid down roots in my flower pots and stayed there until I pull them out to make way for new plants. Sometimes, they are found next to or in between the flower pots.
One of these plants is the soft fern. These are probably from spores carried by wind into my garden. Spores can be found on the underside of the older leaves as dark spots. This fern do not produce flowers.
I usually find quite a number of these growing in my garden especially during the rainy season. Soft fern can be grown as indoor plants or in hanging pots as outdoor plants but kept in partial shade or under the porch.
Soft fern grows well in soft and moist garden soil. It does not need regular feeding of fertilizer. It is claimed that soft ferns acts as humidifiers and improve the air in the room.
"I know all the things you do. I have seen your love,
your faith, your service, and your patient endurance.
And I can see your constant improvement in all these things.
(Revelation 2:19, NLT)
