Each plant is unique. Size, shape, fullness, and variegation will vary.

Pteris cretica ‘Albolineata’ (Candy Stripe Brake Fern). Native to subtropical regions where ferns grow in consistently moist soil with high humidity and filtered light. Roots stay evenly damp with constant airflow. This variety is grown for its striped foliage and soft texture. Fronds are narrow with a bright white stripe running through green, forming a light, airy structure.

Light requirements.
Prefers north and east windows.
Place 1–3 ft from the window.
Grow lights 5000K–6500K.
12–18 inches from canopy.
Foot-candles: 200–600 for steady growth.

Watering & environment.
Keep soil consistently lightly moist.
Use a chopstick or moisture meter to confirm the root zone is damp, not just the surface.
Requires higher humidity and steady airflow.

What your plant is telling you.
Needs water: fronds crisp at the tips and lose structure.
Too wet: yellowing and soft stems from lack of oxygen at roots.
Light issues: pale, weak growth indicates insufficient light.
