The Heart Fern is a tropical plant with beautiful, glossy, green leaves. The heart-shaped fronds look afloat on their dainty black stems. It’s native to southern Asia and has become very popular at nurseries and garden stores. This plant loves high humidity and is ideal for terrariums. Other names for this plant include Tongue fern, Heart Leaf fern, and Heart’s Tongue. 

The Heart Fern is a perfect plant for a terrarium or ‘fairy garden’. It will need a warm, moist environment to thrive. To boost humidity, consider placing your Heart Fern in a bathroom or near the kitchen sink. You could even put it under a glass dome for an elegant look. 

The Heart Fern requires indirect sunlight. In nature, it’s found in partial shade under the forest canopy. Avoid bright, direct sunlight with this plant as it may scorch the leaves.
