Care & Planting: Pteris ensiformis (sword brake fern) thrives in humid, shaded conditions that mimic its native tropical understory habitat. Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, and provide bright indirect light — direct sun will scorch the delicate fronds. Pairs well with other shade-loving terrarium plants.
