House holly fern (Cyrtomium falcatum) is also called the “Japanese Holly Fern.” It’s a popular indoor decorative plant. Its leaves look more like holly leaves than fern fronds.
Fronds can be up to 80 cm long, quite leathery, on a short, light brown rhizome. They are completely divided into 8 to 22 pairs of leaflets about ten centimeters long by 3 to 4 wide, lanceolate, denticulate and rather narrow on the petiole (less than Cyrtomium falcatum).
Sickle leaved holy fern is characterized by its arching dark green fronds that flourish in shaded, forested areas. The fronds' underside bears a distinct pattern of spores, crucial for reproduction. This plant's leathery leaves resist dehydration, allowing it to thrive in environments with varying moisture. Its robust, evergreen nature adds year-round vibrancy to the understory where it resides.
Large-leaved holly fern is a robust fern known for its large, glossy, and leathery fronds that gracefully arch. Each leaflet is paddle-shaped with a holly-like appearance, contributing to its visual appeal. Thriving in the dappled shade of forested areas, its evergreen leaves provide year-round interest, making it a favored choice for woodland gardens or shaded landscapes.
