I rescued 😁 a supposed houseplant from a sale table in the GC.
It was in a tiny pot 2" supposed to go in a terrarium
My question is after re potting and TLC this is it now.
If it keeps on growing this fast, after a month ,should it really be outside? I would be potting it on for the winter ( would have to go in the conservatory as getting too big for the window) and maybe find it a home in spring.
The other question is why has it put out bare stems
As I have no idea what type of fern it is I dont know if this is normal, but I do love its feathery texture so want to do what's best for it.
Any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Mystery fern is denser.
Ferns from pics are really hard.
Maybe Polystichum setiferum plumosum...or similar.????
syn Polystichum setiferum 'plumoso-multilobum' ????

I remember the seventies and it put me off indoor ferns and macrame hanging baskets forever 😀.
