Living Lace® Sword Dance™

You will find that 'Sword Dance' is a captivating way to bring a touch of prehistoric intrigue into your home without needing a massive amount of space. This staghorn fern is prized for its strappy, elongated fronds that resemble the blades of a sword, growing in a more compact and bushy habit than its larger cousins. You will notice a soft, silvery "felt" covering the leaves; these are actually tiny hairs that the plant uses to drink in nutrients and moisture from the air. Like a trusted neighbor, I must warn you: never wipe away this fuzz or use leaf shine, as it would strip the fern of its natural survival tools.

Because 'Sword Dance' is an epiphyte, it naturally thrives tucked into the bark of trees rather than in heavy soil. It prefers a very airy, well-draining medium and likes to dry out completely between waterings. Place it in diffuse or indirect sunlight to keep those silver tones bright. For more wisdom on mounting these beauties to boards for a vertical garden, I highly recommend the guides at Watters Garden Center.
