frosted ferns . . . my Winter love!

I didn't plan on dedicating a post to my Frosted Ferns, but I've received a dozen - or more - emails and Facebook messages on these beauties since early last month, so I thought I'd take the time to share a few more photos and a little information on caring for them.

So where did I find my frosted ferns? 

I was so excited when I saw them at our local Trader Joe's!  I think they were $3.99 each. Although they were tucked away, it was their pretty creamy white leaflets that shown through the shade - and caught my eye.  I bought several of them )over the course of a few weeks) to enjoy through the holidays, knowing that I would probably get to enjoy them through Spring (and hopefully longer), as well.

Since the start of January, I transferred them from creamy white pots to warm, natural-colored baskets . . . and I just LOVE them in baskets!

 

If you're lucky enough to find them too, here are a few tips to keep yours happy . . .

Frosted ferns love the shade! Keep out of direct sunlight. The sun (and even indirect sunlight) can burn the fern.

Water at least twice a week.

Good drainage is important, so be sure and remove the plastic sleeve from the pot.

Keep away from dry heat, as frosted ferns LOVE a humid environment.

Although I have plans to enjoy them indoors long-term, I would love to plant a few outdoors to see how well they'll do. Apparently, they can grow up to a foot in height. The thought of a LARGE one makes my heart skip a beat (smile). I'll let you know how it goes!

LET'S STAY in touch!
