I purchased 25 of what was advertised to be this product from a vendor listed on this site: Santa Rosa Gardens. It turned out to be cyrtomium fortunei (Fortune's Cold Hardy Holly Fern). This product is not as attractive and less drought tolerant. Bad experience with this vendor. We'll see about the ferns.

I water this plant once a week and feed with diluted fish-
emulsian every two weeks, It is in the shade except for late afternoon sun. In a 14 inch pot it seems to be doing quite well.

I have had several holly fern for many years. The ones that have done the best are the ones that receive more light and less attention. I have only watered them about 4 times this year (although they have had some rain). I killed several by overwatering them which led to disease.
