Wart ferns are characterized by their wart-like growths, which give them their common name. Wart ferns are native to various regions across Europe, North America, and Asia, and they thrive in cool, moist environments such as forests, rocky areas, and shaded crevices. Their fronds can reach a height of up to 60 centimeters and feature vibrant green colors. Wart ferns are hardy plants, capable of adapting to different light conditions and growing in various soil types. They are often cultivated as ornamental plants, adding a touch of natural beauty to gardens and indoor spaces. Additionally, wart ferns are known for their medicinal properties, as they have been used in traditional medicine to treat skin disorders and respiratory ailments.
Growth habit: Cascading, climbing, creeping
Native Origin: Africa, Asia, and Australia
Hardiness zone: 10-11
Environmental Needs: Part Shade/Full shade
Grows best in well drained organically rich soil. Water regularly and once established this plant is mildly drought tolerant. Wart ferns propagate through rhizomes and will spread indefinitely. Roots are hairy and adventurous and will naturally climb making them beautiful house or hanging container plants.
Growth Rate: Moderate
Maintenance: Pruning is optional as this is a very self-reliant plant. Prun dead or browning frons in spring as new growths begin to come in. Don’t remove too many fronds at once as this could shock the plant and cause it to become stressed and susceptible to pests or diseases.
