A plant that closely resembles a nine-tailed fox, kept indoors it stays evergreen all year round

Below we are going to introduce a plant that is evergreen all year round, especially drought-tolerant, does not need frequent care, and looks especially cute. It is the foxtail fern, with an especially delicate appearance. Its plant shape looks very much like a fox's tail, and it originally grew in tropical and subtropical regions.

The foxtail fern can also be planted in a yard, and can also be grown in flower pots. It is afraid of the cold, so friends in the north had best grow it as a potted plant.

The reason the foxtail fern is very popular is that it does not need frequent pruning, and its appearance is very unique and cute. The plant does not grow very tall, so growing it in a flower pot is completely fine.

The foxtail fern does not need frequent care. It has a very strong drought tolerance, and its rhizome base has very vigorous roots, so even if you occasionally forget to water it, it does not matter.

The foxtail fern can also bloom. Its flowers are very delicate small white flowers and look quite special too, though they are far less beautiful than its leaves.

The foxtail fern likes a warm and slightly moist environment all year round. It is suitable for planting in every corner of a yard, and it can grow well without care. If you are in a place with no frost all year round, growing a few in the yard is very suitable.

If you live in a northern region where winter is relatively cold, you can grow it as a potted ornamental plant. Grown in a yard it also tends to spread excessively, so growing it in a flower pot is very suitable.

Potted foxtail ferns need regular pruning. Cut off some dried or yellowed leaves so it grows more emerald green, and this can also avoid consuming too many nutrients.

If you find that the leaves or branches of the foxtail fern start to turn yellow, it proves it has been over-dried, and you should water it thoroughly once, or spray water around it to slightly increase the air humidity.

Indoor potted foxtail ferns need regular misting to maintain relatively high air humidity, otherwise their leaves easily turn yellow.

When caring for the foxtail fern, you must avoid frequent watering. The soil cannot be constantly moist. Before each watering, wait until the soil 3~5 cm below the surface has dried out completely, then replenish moisture.

The foxtail fern has little demand for light. Growing it in a bright, well-ventilated spot is enough, but avoid growing it in overly shady places, otherwise the leaves easily turn yellow.

Potted foxtail ferns should be properly shaded during the hotter summer period to avoid the leaves being sunburned.

With proper light, the foxtail fern can also produce small white flowers that can attract large numbers of bees. After these small flowers mature, they can turn into small red berries that can attract birds.

If you want to propagate the foxtail fern, it is also very simple. You can choose to divide it after the warmth of spring. You can choose to dig it up after the warmth of spring, and cut its side shoots apart with a knife.

Prepare loose, well-drained sandy soil for cultivation, grow it in a bright, well-ventilated spot, keep the soil appropriately moist, and after two weeks gradually expose it to light. Once the branches and leaves have grown stable, it no longer needs frequent care.
