Colours and shapes

What’s nice about Pteris ensiformis Evergreen is that it always offers a green display. What’s also eye-catching is its messy hairstyle: a sprig here, a leaf there. But while it may look a bit untidy, it keeps it surroundings clean.

Origin

This plant comes from a large family of tropical ferns that mainly occur in the South America. It can easily grow to be a metre tall there, but is unlikely to reach those heady heights in the home.
