🏡 6️⃣ At Orange’s Home
We love pairing this fern with driftwood mounts and letting it claim a cozy corner in the shop’s greenhouse wall. It adds texture and a dramatic shape next to trailing pothos or compact orchids. With daily misting and the right light, it thrives all year long and often becomes the most talked‑about plant in the room.
