How to identify Male fern (Dryopteris filix-mas)
Male fern, also known as Shield fern
Male fern is a robust fern featuring a crown of symmetrically arching fronds that can reach lengths of up to 3 to 4 feet (90 to 120 cm). The fronds display a bipinnate structure, creating a rich, feather-like texture. Each dark green leaflet is shaped with a notable, distinctively cut margin. The plant grows from a thick rhizome that modestly elevates it above the ground. Best performance is in environments that offer a balance of moisture and drainage, with the ability to adapt to a variety of light conditions, from full to partial shade.
Symmetrically arching fronds reaching 3-4 feet (90-120 cm) in length.
Bipinnate frond structure creating a feather-like texture.
Distinctively cut leaflets with dark green color.
Thick rhizome lifting plant slightly above ground.
Adaptable to diverse light conditions with balanced moisture and drainage.
The leaves of male fern are stiff, lustrous, and dark green, forming a flattened vase-like shape. Each frond is approximately 8 inches (20 cm) wide. The lance-shaped blades taper at both ends and are pinnate-pinnatified, featuring long pinnae with deep cuts and blunt segments. The fronds have a short, densely scaly stipe covered with brown scales. Sori, or spore clusters, are located near the midrib.
Gardenia jasminoides is an evergreen shrub with unique, glossy evergreen leaves and stunning flowers. The sophisticated, matte white flowers are often used in bouquets. The exceptional beauty of this ornamental plant has made it a popular and highly appreciated plant amongst gardeners and horticulturalists.
The golden pothos (Epipremnum aureum) is a popular houseplant that is commonly seen in Australia, Asia, and the West Indies. It goes by many nicknames, including "devil's ivy", because it is so hard to kill and can even grow in low light conditions. Golden pothos has poisonous sap, so it should be kept away from pets and children.
Solanum lycopersicum is an annual or perennial herbaceous vine native to Central and South America that produces a large, juicy, edible fruit known as tomato. Today there are over 10000 cultivated varieties. Although tomato is the world’s most popular vegetable, botanically it is a fruit.
The pepper are commonly used for cooking in places such as the Southern U.S. and Central America. Most are moderately spicy, though because there are so many variants, the spice level can vary dramatically. Cayenne powder is also a popular seasoning product made from pepper plants.
The swiss cheese plant (Monstera deliciosa) produces bright, glossy leaves and makes a popular houseplant. It is originally native to tropical forest regions in Central America. The nickname swiss cheese plant refers to the small holes that develop in the plant's leaves. The long fruits resemble corncobs and smell sweet and fragrant when ripe.
The bigleaf hydrangea is a deciduous shrub native to Japan, and is known for its lush, oval, colorful inflorescence. The two types of Hydrangea macrophylla are mopheads - with large, ball-shaped, sterile flower clusters, and lace capes - with small round fertile flowers in the center, and sterile flowers on the outer side of each inflorescence. Depending on soil pH, blooms can change color from pink to blue.
