Hemionitis arifolia
Hemionitis arifolia, the Heart Fern, is a tuft-forming, evergreen fern displaying glossy green, heart-shaped fronds on black stems. Fertile fronds with arrowhead-shaped leaves stand above the foliage.
Ferns Basic Care: Medium
- Watering: Prefers consistent moisture—keep it moist, but not soggy, to avoid overwatering. Avoid watering right into the center of the plant as this can encourage mold growth and rot.
- Light: Does best in medium to low light and flourishes in shady spots.
- Soil/Drainage: A peat-based houseplant mix is ideal for retaining the right amount of moisture.
- Temperature/Humidity: Thrives in normal to cooler temperatures and loves high humidity. Using a humidifier or placing it in a bathroom with a pebble tray can help maintain the necessary moisture levels.
Order & Shipping Info:
-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.
