Fuzzy brown rhizomes creep across the soil surface on this easy fern, giving it the common name that sticks in your memory. The triangular fronds stay compact and manageable, rarely demanding repotting or fussing about air circulation.

Water enough to keep the soil from drying out completely, but don't drown it — these prefer slightly drier conditions than most houseplants. Set it on a table or shelf in a room with moderate natural light and it'll grow steadily through the year.
