Pteris tripartita, commonly known as Giant Brake Fern, is an evergreen fern native to tropical and subtropical regions of Africa, Asia and the Pacific. It typically reaches a height and width of 2-3 feet (0.6-0.9 meters), featuring large, arching fronds that give it a lush, tropical appearance. The fronds are divided into numerous leaflets, which can give the plant a delicate, feathery look despite its size.

Giant Brake Fern is valued for its ability to thrive in shady conditions and its low maintenance requirements, making it a popular choice for shaded garden areas, indoor plantings, and as a background plant in tropical-themed gardens. It prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil and can be grown in containers or directly in the ground in areas with mild winters. In cultivation, it requires protection from strong winds and direct sunlight. While it is not known for significant pest or disease issues, it can become invasive in some regions, so gardeners should check local regulations before planting.CC BY-SA 4.0
