Nephrolepis cordifolia, commonly known as the tuberous sword fern, is a resilient evergreen fern characterized by its erect, sword-shaped fronds and unique underground tubers. Native to tropical regions of Australia and Asia, it features deep green, finely-toothed leaflets that create a lush, textured appearance. This adaptable plant thrives in various conditions, from full shade to partial sun, and is often used as a groundcover, in hanging baskets, or as a hardy indoor specimen.
