There are many types of ferns: herbaceous ferns, woody ferns and ancient ferns. In addition to the ability to absorb arsenic, ferns also absorb toxic substances that are harmful to human health and reduce radiation.

The soil only needs to be rich in humus and loose to retain moisture and drain well, no need for elaborate fertilization. When watering, the grower only needs to water 30% of the water at the base and 70% on the trunk. Photo: Hoai Thu

The price of an ancient fern ranges from 1 million VND to tens of millions of VND depending on its size, shape, and position. The more branches and twigs the tree has, the more beautiful its position, the higher the price. Photo: Thanh Phuc

To serve the tastes of the players, gardeners have to order ferns from all over the country. "Usually we import goods from Da Lat, this type is quite popular when it has been propagated and potted. For some naturally exploited ferns with unique shapes and long life, we buy from the local people in Dien Bien , Huong Son (Ha Tinh) and some localities in Nghe An," said Ms. Vo Thi Thuy Hang, owner of a garden in Nghi An.

Ferns are imported, then acclimatized in the garden for 6 months to 1 year, when the plants grow well, they are transferred to customers for planting. Photo: Thanh Phuc

Besides the ancient fern, the woody fern is also popular with many people. This type of plant only needs light and enough water to live and grow well. Therefore, this plant is chosen by many people to decorate cafes, construction sites, offices, houses, etc. Photo: Hoai Thu

This year, many people know and order ferns to decorate their homes instead of regular flowers. Mr. Nguyen Van Ky, a customer, said: "Peach and kumquat trees, after Tet, usually have to be discarded because they cannot be taken care of. But woody ferns or ancient ferns that have been domesticated in pots are very durable, have reasonable prices and have the function of filtering the air, so this Tet, I ordered 3 ferns to decorate the lobby of my house."
