# I’m having trouble confirming the accurate name of this one. I came…

I’m having trouble confirming the accurate name of this one. I came up with Norfolk Island Spleenwort. Anyone 100% confident? Need some specifics on lighting and best type of vessel, porous or nonporous? Thank you.

It’s a fern, not sure specifically what kind though

### Shirley🪴you jest commented on 2023-07-04

Yeah, thanks. I was hoping to learn the specific variety. 🙂

If you find out, please post it! It reminds me of a cedar tree with its leaves and it reminds me of my old home place where I grew up 🥹 and I would like to have one.

MamaJuju, Will do!

It kinda looks like my royal poinciana.

Anna, thank you for posting a photo, unfortunately, I can’t view it.

My apologies for the duplicate response. Having trouble with our wifi and was the cause for not being able to view the photo. I can see it now.

I love ferns and yours is no exception. It seems the leaves on your fern are elongated ovals and singular extending from each stem, while mine has leaves with numerous or separate extensions from each stem. Thank you for trying to help me 🙏🏼  
🪴 Happy Gardening
