A clumpy and compact Boston-type fern, this guy will reach 2′ by 2′ in your own home rainforest. Perky, short, sword shaped fronds in vibrant green poke sturdily up with the ends curving in an appealing curl, giving it the appearance and name of Jester’s cap for its similarity to the goofy curls on a court jester’s traditional cap.
Care:
- Light: Needs more light than most, but direct light not necessary. Can handle morning and afternoon sun directly on leaves.
- Water: Prefers more water than most, but soil can dry out periodically. Use a spray bottle to mist and increase humidity levels without soaking the soil and roots.
