Foxtail Ferns FAQ
How to Care for Foxtail Fern?
Foxtail ferns thrive with proper care. Plant them in areas with soft, filtered shade, providing morning sun but protecting them from harsh afternoon sunlight. When indoors, ensure they receive bright, indirect light. To avoid overwatering, establish a consistent weekly watering schedule, allowing the top three inches of soil to dry between waterings. Adequate drainage is essential to prevent waterlogging, especially in potted foxtail ferns.

Then, it is prepped for shipping where we carefully wrap the base to ensure minimum soil spillage while your plant travels to you. After this a recycled paper sleeve is placed around your plant. If your plant is traveling to a colder climate, it gets extra special attention with a recycled blue jean plant-blanket for the ride.

Very healthy plant packaged very well and arrived on time
These are the most beautiful foxtail ferns! I purchased 2 in the beginning of June and every time I see them I am still in amazement of their beauty! I purchased on 6-7-23 and they were delivered on 6-11-23 (4 days 🙌) from Florida to Pennsylvania and arrived in SUPERB condition! Towards the end of June, both foxtails had 4-5 stems full of gorgeous little white blooms which are now (7-14-23) little green berries / seed pods. It has been flourishing here in PA, outside with indirect sunlight! Prior to purchasing, I was torn between 3 different Etsy sellers. After reading the reviews and seeing a few reviews with pictures of pristine foxtail ferns, I went with TropicalPlantsofFL and I am SO HAPPY I did! I added a video from today of one of them. 😍
A healthy vibrant plant arrived very timely. Definitely would order again.
Arrived quickly and in pristine condition.
