Pteris biaurita
fern
Description
Pteris biaurita, often called the brake fern or lemon fern, is a widespread fern known for its distinctive, often bright green fronds. This fern is native to tropical and subtropical regions, where it thrives in a range of habitats. The leaves, often slightly yellow-green, have a compound structure with leaflets that can vary in shape. Brake ferns are popular for indoor and outdoor cultivation due to their attractive appearance and relative ease of care. They prefer bright indirect light and well-draining soil. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil moist, but avoid overwatering, which can lead to root rot. These plants also require some shade to thrive.
