Ostrich fern, also known as Shuttlecock fern, Fiddlehead fern
Ostrich fern is a resilient fern well-known for its adaptability in various environments, making it relatively easy to care for. Key care points include ensuring consistently moist soil, as ostrich fern thrives in damp conditions, and providing partial to full shade, as direct sunlight can harm its fronds. It is also vital to give ostrich fern ample space to spread, as it can grow extensively via underground rhizomes.
