Sprengeri Fern Plant FAQ

Yes, the Sprengeri Fern adapts very well to indoor spaces with bright, indirect light. It thrives on shelves, tables, or window ledges where filtered sunlight is available. Just provide humidity and regular misting to keep fronds lush.

No, the Sprengeri Fern (Asparagus aethiopicus) is toxic to cats and dogs, especially if they eat the berries. Ingesting it can cause stomach upset, so it’s best to keep the plant out of reach of pets. Always contact a veterinarian if your pet consumes part of the plant.

This shop has the most fantastic, healthy, gorgeous plants. I am a repeat customer and have never been disappointed. In fact the plants have always exceeded my expectation and plants are often much larger than expected. Packaging is some of the most professional I've seen, with not one leaf damaged. I'll be back for more.
