Fern

A potted fern is one of the easiest and most magical plants you can grow by your threshold. They’ve graced doorsteps since the Victorian era, adn it’s easy to see why. Their lush greenery brings a sense of calm and their foliage has strong protective vibrations. They guard against all evil. Including a few stems in a vase arrangement will bring their magical powers inside too. [1]

Fern. Protection, blending-in, shielding. Kimberley Queen Fern (Nephrolepis obliterata) is a pet safe fern that removes formaldehyde, xylene, and toluene from the environment. Boston Fern (Nephrolepis exaltata) is also pet safe. [2]

Burn indoors for protection, outside for rain. Bracken fern root sprinkled under the pillow grants dream solutions to problems. [1]
