A plant without flowers. Perennial fern with elegant fronds that spring from an underground rhizome. It can reach more than 1 m.
 
 
Abundantly. It should not be allowed to dry since the dryness of the interior places, especially with heating, makes the leaves become brown.
  
 
As an indoor plant.
  
 
In interiors with good light. It should not be exposed directly to the sun or near the heating.
  
   
Although it can reproduce with spores, the simplest form of doing it is by means of division of the rhizome. It should be clear up when the pot is very full , so that the roots can prosper well.
  
 
Preferably rich in organic, well crumbled matter.
