How to Grow and Care for Digit fern

The digit fern is so named because of its finger-like leaves, which make it look like a hand! Even the genus name has something to do with its looks: it comes from the Greek words meaning "spear fern." digit fern can grow out several new fronds in less than a week, making it very popular as an indoor pot plant.
