Care tips

Keep the soil evenly moist but not soggy, and never let it dry out completely. Most ferns prefer higher humidity, so mist regularly or place on a humidity tray. Use filtered light or bright, indirect light, avoiding harsh sun. Feed with a diluted houseplant fertiliser every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer.
