Blechnum gibbum - Dwarf Fiji Fern, Silver Lady Fern

They are fabulous plants and grow well here, although mine suffered a bit of sunburn a few weeks ago!

It really loves more shade than sun.

I have tried them. No matter how long you've had them,one good dry out in summer and they die. Forget one time and its not forgiving-ha.

I had one for over 16 years. It was so beautiful! It died in a horrible heatwave a few years ago. 😞. It was the longest I’ve kept one alive. I killed so many by letting it dry out, so I know exactly what you’re saying.

I purchased a new one last year and I keep it constantly wet.

I’m going to post a large one that’s at the horticultural center at Lake Side botanical garden in Oakland.
