A fern with long, divided fronds that adds movement and a lush forest character to a terrarium.

More about plant care

A sword fern can occupy more space than a small starter plant suggests. Allow room for its fronds and trim as needed. It suits a lush terrarium design, but eventual size depends on the plant material and growing conditions.
