- Appearance: Royal fern is a large, deciduous fern with a striking and feathery appearance. Its fronds can reach heights of 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.8 meters). The fronds are once-pinnate, meaning that they are divided into leaflets along a central stem. The fertile fronds are taller than the sterile fronds and bear spore-producing structures on their upper portions.
- Habitat: Osmunda regalis is typically found in wetland habitats, such as swamps, marshes, and the edges of ponds and streams. It thrives in consistently moist to wet soils and can tolerate partial shade.
- Distribution: Royal fern has a wide distribution, occurring in various regions of the Northern Hemisphere. It is found in Europe, Asia, and North America. In North America, it is more commonly found in the eastern and northern parts of the continent.
- Reproduction: Like many ferns, royal fern reproduces through spores. These spores are produced on the fertile fronds, which appear as tall, brown spikes. Spores are released from these structures and can grow into new ferns if they land in suitable, moist soil.
- Ecological Role: Royal fern plays a role in wetland ecosystems by providing habitat and shelter for various wildlife, including insects, amphibians, and birds. Its feathery fronds create a lush and attractive appearance in wetland areas and contribute to the overall biodiversity of these ecosystems.

Care Instructions
Care Instructions
Different plants have different watering needs. Check the soil moisture by inserting your finger about an inch into the soil. If it feels dry, water the plant until the water drains from the bottom of the pot. Avoid overwatering, as it can lead to root rot.
