Doryopteris nobilis, commonly known as Arrowhead Fern, is a clump-forming evergreen fern displaying irregularly shaped, glossy green fronds. Leaf shape varies from deeply loped to nearly solid. Ferns thrive in neutral to acidic, loose, richly organic soil which is moist but not waterlogged. Prefers bright, filtered sunlight and is excellent as a houseplant or in a seasonal container.
