I have had MUCH success with this plant. It likes a low to medium light, and moist-dry potting mix. This is a GREAT fern that looks nice amid other ferns.

The blue-green fronds of this Bear's Paw Fern have crispate and lobed fronds. Excellent for hanging baskets, it develops large, hairy rhizomes. When very young, it is a candidate for terrariums.

So far I have planted three of these ferns without success. Two small ones came from a mail order nursery, and a larger one from a local big box store. Planted in mid-December 2006, all three withered away.
