Guide
The species-level account. Cultivar pages build on this and say where they differ.
Polystichum tsussimense is a small evergreen fern in the wood fern family, the kind of plant that grows in the shaded, leaf-littered layer of a forest floor. Give it a shaded to moderately lit spot out of direct sun, and keep the mix lightly and evenly moist — water when the top inch has just begun to dry, easing off rather than letting it sit wet. Ferns tolerate ordinary indoor humidity but appreciate a little extra moisture in the air; steady conditions suit it best.
