I get a lot of my plants at Used Plant sales at our local conservatory. They seldom come with names, though. Here is a tree fern I got earlier this summer, can anyone provide its name for me, and good suggestions for caring for it? I haven't had one before, and I am getting nervous about keeping it thriving during the upcoming winter. Right now the main stem is only a few inches tall, but it seems to be gaining height pretty fast the past couple of weeks. Windsurffer took this beautiful photo for me.
