Asplenium ceterach
Asplenium ceterach
Rustyback fern thrives in bright indirect light and prefers a well-draining, slightly alkaline soil mix. Water every 7-10 days and reduce watering in winter, as this fern has remarkable drought tolerance for brief periods. It is well-suited to rock gardens, terracotta pots, or wall crevices indoors or in a sheltered outdoor spot.
