Meet 'Emina'—the "Green Dragon" of the fern world. With her tight, crinkled, and uniquely twisted fronds, she looks like a bunch of prehistoric sea kelp. She’s a sturdy, upright beauty that brings a high-texture, sculptural "pop" to any humid corner!

The Formal Name: Nephrolepis exaltata 'Emina'
The Nickname: Dragon Tail Fern or Crested Sword Fern
Roots: A rare, textured cultivar of the classic Boston Fern family.
Natural Vibe: Thriving in the misty, shaded understory of tropical forests.

Care Guide

Care Guide:

Sunlight: She loves bright, indirect light. Too much sun will scorch her crinkled edges; too little will make her lose her tight shape.

Best Room: A bright, steamy bathroom or a humidity-rich kitchen.

Snacks: A weak liquid fertiliser every 4 weeks during spring and summer.

Tropical Feels: She’s a humidity addict (60%+). If the air gets too dry, her unique "scales" will turn brown and crispy.

Cosy Factor: Happy between 16–24°C. Keep her away from drying radiators!

Thirst: Thirsty! Keep her soil consistently moist but not soggy. She’ll let you know she’s unhappy by shedding fronds.

Safety First: Non-toxic – perfectly safe for curious cats, dogs, and children.

The Bedding: A moisture-retentive, peat-free potting mix with a little perlite.

Family Tree: Propagate by carefully dividing the root ball during repotting.

Space Needs: Stays more compact and upright than a standard fern, reaching 30–50 cm.

Speed: A moderate grower that focuses on dense, textured foliage.

Uninvited Guests: Watch for spider mites if the humidity drops too low.

Moving Day: Repot every 1–2 years in spring to refresh her moisture-holding soil.

Haircut: Trim off any brown or dried fronds at the base to keep her looking sharp.

Fresh Air: A top-tier air purifier that boosts indoor humidity levels.

Plant Lore: Her name "Emina" refers to her crested, "dragon-like" appearance, making her a favorite for fantasy-themed plant displays!
