Actiniopteris australis – Eyelash Fern 🌿👁️

Delicate and unique, Actiniopteris australis – also known as the Eyelash Fern – features fan-shaped, finely divided fronds that resemble fluttering eyelashes. Native to tropical and subtropical regions, it’s a compact and charming fern ideal for terrariums, humid bathrooms, or shaded plant shelves.

Key Features:

✔ Feathery, fan-shaped fronds with fine, eyelash-like texture
✔ Naturally compact and low-growing – perfect for small spaces
✔ Ideal for terrariums or humidity-loving displays
✔ Grows well in bright shade and tolerates low light
✔ A rare but easy-care fern for collectors and nature lovers

Care Instructions:

• Light: Thrives in indirect light or partial shade – avoid harsh sun

• Watering: Keep soil consistently moist, but not soggy – never let it dry out completely

• Humidity: Loves high humidity – mist regularly or grow in a closed terrarium

• Soil: Use a peaty, well-draining potting mix – fern or tropical mixes are ideal

• Feeding: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser

• Temperature: Prefers warmth – keep above 15°C and away from drafts

🌿 Tip: If the fronds curl or crisp, it's likely too dry – boost humidity and keep watering consistent.
