Name That Plant!

Fern ID help please

11 years ago

I rescued this fern today, and need help ID'ing it. It was originally potted in a gigantic pot with a 20-foot tall ficus tree, which makes me wonder how they kept it humid. I don't think it has any pests, I think the frond in the picture has been damaged by handling. The soil is bone dry. If you have any quick tips on what I should do asap to salvage this beauty, please share!

They look to be genus Athyrium to me. Probably A. angustum with those red stems. Nice specimens!

I agree -- appears to be an "asparagus fern" ( perhaps Asparagus setaceus or Asparagus plumosus ... I think the former name is considered correct). As the common name suggests, it is not truly a fern but rather a member of the genus Asparagus.
