The ming fern a growing shrub‎ native to the Cape Provinces and the Northern Provinces of South Africa. They grow a bit wild, it's something we love about them, but can also be pruned back very easily. They like to be in a room with bright light but not necessarily next to a west or south facing window. We let these ferns dry out in between watering and give them a lot of humidity. We recommend repotting these plants in our tropical soil.
