Phlebodium aureum ‘Davana’ (Golden Polypody) in 17cm Pot

The ruffled fronds of this attractive fern develop a subtle bluish flush as they mature. Originating from tropical rainforests with high humidity, this plant will flourish in a bright steamy bathroom or kitchen. Keep the compost moist (but not waterlogged) at all times, but this can be cut back a little in winter. If you can’t place it in a humid atmosphere like your bathroom you can still grow this plant, just mist the leaves regularly with water and/or place the pot on a tray of damp pebbles.
