Which ferns are suitable for indoor growing as small parlour plants?

Several varieties of ferns are well-suited for indoor cultivation as small parlour plants. These include:

• Sword fern (Nephrolepis): Known for its bushy rosettes of leafy fronds.1
• Holly fern (Cyrtomium): Features glossy, dark, leathery leaves.1
• Leatherleaf fern (Rumohra): Distinguished by its leathery, lacy fronds.1
• Bird’s-nest fern (Asplenium nidus): Forms a rosette of light-green, fanlike, parchment-textured fronds.1
• Hare’s-foot fern (Polypodium): A long-lasting plant with feathery leaves and distinctive, woolly, pawlike rhizomes.1
• Maidenhair ferns (Adiantum): Dainty, damp-loving plants.1
• Table ferns (Pteris and Pellaea species): A varied group that may be frilly or variegated; these are particularly ideal for terraria in their younger stages.1

While the parlour palm (Chamaedorea) is also a popular choice for indoor spaces, it is a palm rather than a fern.2
