| Becky, that sure reminds me a lot of a fern I had six or seven years ago: Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata 'Fluffy Ruffles Upright') ~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |

| Lin - This is a small fern. Could it possibly be "Nephrolepis exaltata 'Marisa' " ? https://www.shrublandparknurse... I need a fern that can grow in a terrarium. Maybe a terrarium without a lid?

Becky, that link is to a nursery in the UK and I guess the fern in your photo could be 'Marisa', if it's available here in the U.S. There are so many varieties of Nephrolepis and I don't know if it's possible to identify an exact cultivar if the plant isn't labeled.  It should do very well in a terrarium environment, with or without a lid.~ I'm an old gal who still loves playing in the dirt! ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! |
